Healthcare Facilities: Under Lock and Key

Written by Theseus Team | Aug 4, 2023 1:04:49 PM

At Theseus, we pride ourselves on our ability to consult with healthcare system operators and provide them with top-notch security and safety engineering and design services. It is one of our core capabilities, and we take great satisfaction in helping our clients create safe and secure environments for their patients and staff.

Recently, we came across an article in Campus Safety Magazine that really struck a chord with us. The author outlined six key areas that every healthcare facility should prioritize when it comes to security. 

These areas include pharmaceuticals, security and law enforcement weapons, expensive medical instruments, medical records, hospital mechanical and maintenance supply rooms, and fleet vehicles.

We believe that it is crucial for healthcare facilities to keep these areas under continual lock and key to ensure the safety and security of their assets, staff, and patients. As experts in the field, we have had the opportunity to assist Frederick Hospital with their security risk assessment and help Archwell Health develop their security standards. These experiences have given us valuable insights and expertise that we can bring to your organization.
