Healthcare security systems embrace the overall physical security solutions installed at numerous healthcare facilities such as the Open Publication Distribution System (OPDs), assisted living facilities, ambulatory care centers, and hospitals. Moreover, security systems such as perimeter protection, access control system, intercom & emergency communication, and video surveillance are certain types of healthcare security systems.
Security systems play a vital role in improving the healthcare sector as privacy and protection of data and resources are valuable to the society. Patient protection for preserving their rights is another essential component to ethical healthcare. The key reason for protecting the patients is to give them a sense of confidence in the healthcare organization.
Nowadays, the facility managers in nursing homes, medical centers, and hospitals are supervising various responsibilities. Some of these responsibilities include assessing risks, planning and vulnerabilities oversight of physical security to protect people. Healthcare security deals with open access in multiple buildings, constant visitor’s traffic, confidentiality requirements, hectic emergency departments, property and information against political threats. Thus, healthcare security systems are playing a major role in the protection and security of patients.
G4S, an integrated security company launched the Virtual Patient Watch, a new portable security system to protect patients. It is designed to enhance the security and monitoring of patients who have cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Factors such as the need to prevent healthcare facilities from assault, theft, and other criminal activities, as healthcare organizations deal with sensitive information and issues related to patients coupled with the rising need of healthcare providers to maintain compliance with state and federal laws are driving the global healthcare security systems market. However, cybersecurity concerns along with the high cost of these systems, the limited training programs regarding the security and safety of these systems and lack of awareness in developing countries are factors that are hampering the growth of the market.
The global market for healthcare security systems is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 9.5% during the forecast period, 2018–2024.
