Healthcare Security

Patient Security – We understand that when patients are in your care, they are at their most vulnerable. With a comprehensive video security system, access control system and easy remote management, you can ensure that patient rooms, hospital floors, and treatment areas are completely secure. We make it easy for your security team to ensure that patients remain safe, so you and they can focus on their healing.

Protect Staff– Healthcare staff are vulnerable to a host of threats, including erratic patient behavior, unauthorized persons entering the facility, and potential malpractice lawsuit exposure due to patient care issues. With a professionally designed and installed video security solution, medical staff will have the protection they need against these threats and more.

Visitor Management– Managing visitors is important for hospitals and long term care facilities. Ensuring that visitors are properly screened, signed in and monitored increases patient and staff security, and ensures Federal, state and local regulatory compliance. It also helps streamline the check-in process, and builds trust between the facility and patients and their loved ones.

Intrusion Detection– It is critical that healthcare facilities know who is coming and going at all times, to prevent entry by unauthorized persons, theft and vandalism, and potential attacks. A video security system with intrusion detection features is designed to alert your security team and local law enforcement authorities in the event of an intrusion incident, so they can respond to the situation quickly and effectively.

Loss Prevention– In medical facilities with high value items like pharmaceuticals and expensive medical equipment, there is an increased likelihood of theft. A video surveillance system along with a building access control system can help deter thieves, monitor inventory, and ensure that only authorized persons have access to sensitive areas.

Life Safety– When patients are in your care, it’s essential that you have a plan for every possible contingency. Being able to respond quickly and effectively to an emergency situation could mean the difference between life and death. Watson Consultations’s integrated security systems can also monitor life safety incidents like fire, smoke, carbon monoxide, or an extreme weather event, and warn patients and staff when there is an emergency.

Vandalism Prevention– Vandalism and property damage is expensive to remediate, and can jeopardize the functionality and security of your facility. Video surveillance systems work as a very effective deterrent to vandals. They also alert security staff to suspicious activity, to help catch vandals in the act.

Enhanced Patient Experience– The healthcare industry is based on trust. Patients need to feel cared for when they come to your facility. An integrated security system featuring video surveillance, 24/7 remote monitoring and access control helps put your entire staff at ease, so they can focus on providing the highest quality care to your patients.

Operational Improvements– Healthcare is operationally complex. With government compliance, administrative functions, provision of care, staffing and recruitment, and the management of facilities, equipment and supplies, process management is critical to your facility’s ongoing success. By monitoring the day-to-day activities of your healthcare operations, you can gain valuable data to guide your critical management decisions.

Video Surveillance– Watson Consultations offers a wide array of video surveillance capabilities including HD-TVI and network IP technology; dome, bullet and turret camera form factors; pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras; covert cameras; video security recorders; and a full range of video security accessories. We’re experts in designing customized video security camera systems, camera placement, installation, and maintenance. Our healthcare surveillance systems are fully integrated, so that you can view individual areas or monitor your entire facility 24/7 from one central hub.

Access Control– Protect your facility and ensure that no unauthorized persons can gain access to patient rooms, patient care areas, high value equipment, sensitive data, or controlled substances. We offer physical and electronic access control with IP based systems that utilize Power over Ethernet to deliver tremendous cost savings, along with scalability and flexibility.

The mobile app gives you complete freedom to monitor your healthcare operation, from wherever you are – across town, or halfway around the world.

Convenient Storage– Our video security cameras and recorders feature H.265 compression, the latest processor technology. Delivering up to an 80% reduction in bandwidth and storage requirements, H.265 technology enables you to securely store months of recorded video footage.

Video Analytics– Our video security recorders and IP cameras feature a host of powerful video analytics technologies that enable you to save storage space, receive intelligent alerts, and protect your people and facilities more effectively. Available video analytics include tamper detection, defocus detection, intrusion detection, face detection, unattended baggage, line crossing, region entrance/exit, object removed, object counting, heat mapping and more.

Life Safety– Life safety systems are designed to detect physical threats like fire, smoke or carbon monoxide. They also monitor external threats like extreme weather conditions. Watson Consultations can provide life safety systems with audible alarms, silent warnings, and mass notifications, all specifically designed for the unique emergency management challenges of the healthcare industry.
