November 19, 2004—API Software, Inc., produces SecurALL, an enterprise-wide access control system that helps healthcare organizations regulate and monitor facility access through an organization in real time. SecurALL access control application was installed at Saint Mary’s Hospital, in Rhinelander.
Before opening doors on the brand new healthcare facility, the security team at Saint Mary’s Hospital faced two primary challenges: (1) minimizing the cost of manual key management, and (2) how to lock down an outpatient clinic with 8:00 to 5:00 weekday hours housed within the hospital campus that is open 24 hours a day. The organization determined the most effective solution to both challenges was segmented lockdown managed by a central system. API’s SecurALL technology provided a comprehensive solution, plus it could be integrated with Saint Mary’s and Ministry Medical Group-Rhinelander’s existing API labor resource management system.
With SecurALL, access procedures are simplified. With a single scan of a hospital identification card at the badge reader, approved employees can enter secure areas. Saint Mary’s Hospital and Ministry Medical Group-Rhinelander’s clinic uses 45 readers throughout the 238,460 sq.ft.-campus, including primary exit doors and defined elevators. SecurALL monitors and manages all access points from a single workstation. For example, 15 door and elevator access points are automatically locked down at 5:00 pm each day, without someone required to manually secure the area.
API’s SecurALL has sophisticated reporting tools, so that organizations can quickly and easily obtain detailed information and track employee access to, or attempt to access, secure areas. API further explains that security reviews for internal audits as wall as JCAHO and HIPPA regulations are quick, easy, accurate, and comprehensive. For more information, contact API.
