A system implemented for the safety of life and property in hospitals is Closed Circuit Television, that is CCTV system. In particular, it will be possible to prevent such incidents with the deterrence to be caused as well as the ability to monitor the areas where human traffic is dense 24/7, such as hospital entries, exits and waiting corridors, and to record the monitored images for a long time and at high quality ensures any forensic incident is detected in a short time and effectively. Therefore, a CCTV system, which is designed by analyzing the requirements of the hospital and making the right camera selection and placement, will significantly increase the security level of the hospital. In addition, within recent years, innovations such as monitoring of patients or infants in newborn units over the internet by their relatives with IP-based CCTV systems or showing operations live or recorded with high-resolution cameras for educational purposes in the medical faculties have also been possible.
Another system required to ensure security in hospitals is the Access Control and Security System. Control and recording of entries and exits in the areas where access restriction is required, such as operating rooms and system rooms, can be provided by card access or biometric-based (fingerprint/iris reading) access control. The integration of this system with the CCTV system allows applications such as, for example, the image of the camera monitoring that door appears on the monitoring screen in case of unauthorized passage through a door.
Effective communication of patients with health care personnel is an important factor in the timely and complete fulfillment of the patients' requests and/or immediate needs. With the Nurse Call System, it is possible for the patients to communicate with the closest nurse counter through the call units on the heads of the beds. Necessary communication is provided to call the nurse in case of requirement between the emergency call buttons to be found in the central units and common area WCs.
A number of color codes have been determined as standard for alarms to be given in case of possible emergencies in hospitals. Pink code is given for infant or child abduction/loss, blue code is given for terminally ill and in need of emergency intervention, and white code alarm is given for all kinds of physical violence against hospital personnel. These codes are given by the hospital personnel at the time of the incident and it is ensured that the relevant units are informed and respond within seconds. For example, the health personnel who will respond urgently in case of blue code and the security personnel should be informed as soon as possible in case of pink code.
It is preferred in terms of ease of operation that all security systems to be installed in the hospital operate under a single Integrated Building Management System, especially in very large and multi-facility complex hospital structures. By this means, all systems can be monitored and managed from one center. As mentioned above, the integrated operation of all systems will ensure the automatic realization of the scenarios that include more than one system to be implemented in case of alarm. In addition, with the integration platform, all alarms can be reported retrospectively and the authorized users can view these reports. By this means, an easier to operate, reliable and effective life and property security protection will be possible.
Briefly, since the subject of the enterprise is related to health and life, all kinds of security systems are important in hospitals. In general, it would be appropriate to consider the structure, size and requirements of the hospital instead of economic solution concerns in the planning of the security systems to be installed.
