Torrence Sound: Revolutionizing Hospital Security from the Front Door to the Bedside

In the illuminating article “Hospital Security from the Front Door to the Bedside” from Campus Safety Magazine, the company delves into the multifaceted challenges faced by healthcare organizations in ensuring comprehensive security amidst the evolving landscape of the global healthcare industry, accelerated by the pandemic and digital transformation.

The pandemic and its digital acceleration have not only presented hospital security challenges but also provided a powerful opportunity for the healthcare sector to reinvent itself, as highlighted in Deloitte’s 2022 Global Health Care Outlook. Video surveillance technologies have evolved alongside digitization, offering healthcare organizations new avenues to leverage data from various systems, including video management systems (VMS), access control systems (ACS), automatic license plate readers (ALPR), communication systems, and sensors.

By integrating data from these systems, healthcare organizations can not only enhance building and people protection but also improve efficiency and the patient experience. Centralizing data through a unified physical security platform enables security teams to function more efficiently while empowering information technology (IT) teams to mitigate cyber threats effectively.

Efficiency in patient throughput, a crucial measure in healthcare facilities, can be optimized through the unification of physical security solutions, enabling faster and more efficient responses across departments. Addressing the issue of false alarms, which contribute to desensitization and inefficiency, is vital. Reports indicate that a significant portion of alerts in hospitals are false alarms, highlighting the importance of streamlining security resources.
