Healthcare Video Security Solutions
For some, a healthcare facility feels like a second home. Doctors, nurses, assistants and other staff spend dozens of hours a week walking around healthcare buildings to care for others. Patients could have overnight visits or procedures, meaning top-notch surveillance systems are necessary to keep everyone safe at all times. Thanks to BCD, integrators and distributors can create well-organized security setups around the world.
Why Your Healthcare Clients Demand Purpose-Built Infrastructure
In healthcare organizations, video data is a critical asset for patient safety, operational efficiency and liability protection. However, generic IT hardware often fails to meet the unique, high-stakes demands of a 24/7 clinical environment, putting data, operations and organizational reputation at risk.
Healthcare organizations require purpose-built infrastructure to move beyond basic surveillance to proactive security. The reasons for this critical shift include:
Overcoming Healthcare’s Top Data Challenges
Several crucial aspects of healthcare, from regulatory compliance to patient outcomes, hinge on the effective management, integrity and security of healthcare data. Without proper infrastructure solutions, healthcare organizations may face three distinct challenges, all highlighted below.
Managing Explosive Data Growth
In addition to security, healthcare organizations rely on video for patient and PPE monitoring, fall detection and analytics. However, these demanding applications often overwhelm standard servers, resulting in lag, dropped frames and analytics failures right when reliable data is most critical.
To solve this challenge, our healthcare video infrastructure solutions support seamless integration with VMS platforms and provide high-throughput storage for continuous video recording. As a result, analytics and recording run flawlessly, allowing you to confidently deliver advanced solutions.
Meeting Compliance and Long-Term Retention Mandates
Healthcare organizations are often required to retain surveillance footage for extended periods to meet mandates, such as HIPAA, as well as for liability purposes. These stringent compliance requirements make it crucial to protect data from loss — the cost of failed storage or a lost incident report can be catastrophic for your client.
Our high-availability SAN storage arrays, are designed for secure, scalable and cost-effective retention, protecting critical video data and giving you and your client peace of mind.
Upholding a Zero-Downtime Clinical Environment
In a hospital environment, system downtime can directly impact patient safety and disrupt clinical care. As an integrator, you need a platform you can rely on without requiring constant on-site management for hardware issues. Every BCD system is backed by a 5-year, on-site, next-business-day warranty and lifetime support. We provide the rock-solid foundation, so you can guarantee uptime and focus on your client, not our hardware.
How BCD Helps Professionals in the Healthcare Sector
Healthcare professionals have to work quickly. Whether a physician is moving between rooms to check on patients or operating rooms are functioning on tight schedules, it is vital that groups working in these positions can stay in the know and respond promptly in emergencies. BCD works with integrators and distributors serving the healthcare field to assist with the following:
- Preserve medical inventory: Healthcare security solutions are useful for safeguarding industry supplies. Help doctors and nurses monitor their supply of PPE, gowns, tools, bins and related materials before admitting patients into their rooms.
- Reduce patient overflow: There is a finite number of rooms available for patients. Video surveillance for healthcare facilities allows staff to see how many patient rooms are open day and night. This ability enables workers to provide a faster check-in experience.
- Offer liability protection: Well-positioned surveillance technology lets experts see the whereabouts of patients, surgeons, physicians, nurses and others at any time. Healthcare facilities are better protected from liability issues if an incident occurs.
- Regulate occupancy levels: Patients might enter a healthcare building to receive treatment for an infectious disease. Appropriate security solutions allow workers to better regulate the number of patients entering and exiting spaces for their well-being.
Key Capabilities of Healthcare Surveillance Solutions
Modern video surveillance technology for healthcare buildings brings you capabilities that are unavailable from outdated systems. Working with BCD, you can configure a video security system that allows for:
- Footage archiving: Up-to-date healthcare surveillance solutions streamline the process of saving and retrieving footage. Cut back on hardware costs, as BCD has technology that lets you record for extended periods and access data later.
- Multiview monitoring: Our equipment helps workers observe several locations in a healthcare facility on dependable network systems. You can monitor several devices simultaneously without missing incidents near patient rooms, check-in desks, waiting rooms and pickup locations.
- Incident detection: BCD healthcare video security solutions are valuable for catching anything out of the ordinary in or around a hospital, emergency room or clinic. No matter if there is an attempted break-in or someone is trespassing, you’ll have footage as evidence.
