Introduction To Mass Notification

The process of safeguarding medical facilities is a delicate balance between ensuring certain areas are physically secure and maintain a welcoming, healing environment for patients, visitors, and staff. The best security plans combine cutting-edge technologies, staff training and a compassionate attitude. New security technologies encompassing access control, visitor management, video surveillance and mobile alerts are being implemented in medical buildings to promote safety and mitigate risks.
