American Society for Health Care Engineering’s (ASHE’s) 2018 Hospital Security Survey (conducted in collaboration with the International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety) found that more hospitals were taking steps to control hospital access, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
Every hospital surveyed reported that they either already had electronic-access control or plans to implement it in the next 24 months.
The majority of hospitals also reported having video-surveillance systems, the ability to electronically lock down the hospital and a panic alarm system.
Only 42 percent of hospitals reported having a visitor-management system, which requires each visitor to sign in, provide ID or be photographed and wear a badge, however.
