Strengthening Safety and Security in the Healthcare Sector

Greater Boston is a booming area for healthcare. Hospitals and long-term care facilities, biotech and medical research are all major industries here. All members of the healthcare sector share common concerns about productivity and safety across their campuses. Whether attending to patient care in a hospital or residential care setting or innovating new treatments and technologies in a laboratory, the healthcare industry is constantly moving at a fast-pace. It is an industry in need of communications infrastructure that can keep up with the ongoing and increasing needs of its workforce. KTS is an expert in helping to address these concerns.

Cell phones are now a tool for every employee; they are an integral part of day-to-day communications. If communication is interrupted or delayed by dead zones productivity is hindered. If a team member has to wander about to find a signal, they are not getting the best out of the communications network and they are wasting precious time. Additionally, if everyone cannot be reached in an emergency then safety and security is compromised. Ensuring that communication is continuously available in every corner of the workplace requires a straightforward solution: cellular Bi-directional amplifiers (BDAs). Cellular BDAs are a practical and inexpensive solution to ensure cell coverage to every corner of the campus. They take the existing cell signal and redirect and amplify it to ensure complete coverage in your workplace.

The healthcare sector also must ensure the safety and security of staff, patients and intellectual property. Vital solutions like mass notification systems that reach staff via text, voice and loudspeaker are key to keeping everyone safe and informed in the event of an emergency. Access control systems keep the building secure from intruders and allow for visitors to be registered and accounted for. The same access control system can also restrict and limit access to selected areas of the building in order to manage who can have access to research areas thus securing intellectual property.
