CEM Systems, a brand of Tyco Security Products, announced that the security management system has been installed by ADT Glasgow to secure Edinburgh's new ‘Spire Shawfair Park hospital'. The system secures patients, visitors and the medical equipment at the hospital.
Spire Shawfair Park hospital is a new hospital in the East of Scotland and is part of Spire healthcare; a provider of private health care with 36 hospitals throughout the U.K, employing 7,600 individuals and treating more than 930,000 patients a year. As a new modern hospital facility with the latest medical equipment, Shawfair park hospital provides a range of private day care services to patients across Scotland.
The system provides the hospital with an integrated access control, alarm processing and photo badging security management system.
The software comes with many security applications, with Shawfair Park hospital particularly favoring the CEM badging application. The application allows the hospital to print and design their own access cards, while providing the ability to divide card holders into access groups including day surgery, X-Ray, accident and emergency and hospital porters. This ensures only authorized individuals have access to certain areas.
Software also includes the Alarm Event Display (AED) application. AED responds to all alarm situations in real time providing a dynamic onscreen interface to external systems such as surveillance. Shawfair Park Hospital can use this application to alert security personnel if an alarm is triggered or a door forced. Security at the hospital can act on this alarm immediately to ensure staff and patients are kept safe and restricted areas are kept secure.
With the system successfully installed, Shawfair Park Hospital has secure entrance points, with staff issued with smart-card technology ID badges to control which parts of the hospital they can or cannot access.
