Architects can help healthcare facilities overcome security challenges with design features, according to an article on the HMC Architects website.
For instance, to prevent access to data storage and other personnel-only areas, architects must separate them from community spaces through improved wayfinding and use of partitions, privacy glass, and other design features.
Clear lines of sight in common and secure areas allow healthcare staff and security personnel to more quickly identify an intrusion.
Enhanced check-in process with patients enter their information into a data-secured kiosk surrounded by privacy screens can also enhance security. No words are spoken, so there’s no risk of eavesdropping.
