Healthcare Safety Solutions

We provide integrated security, fire, patient safety, and life-safety solutions to create a safe environment in your hospitals, surgical centers, medical offices, senior living spaces, and long-term care facilities.

Understanding Risks in Healthcare Facilities

Some of your risks may include fire and life-safety issues and protecting sensitive medical records, high-value clinical equipment, and pharmaceutical and medical supply inventories. Your regulatory compliance concerns can be wide-ranging — from accreditation programs, healthcare security standards, and pharmacy board guidelines to workplace safety, patient privacy, fire codes, and controlled-substance licensing. We won’t give you pre-packaged solutions. We are here to give you actionable advice, technical expertise, innovative thinking, and consistent performance you can scale.

Healthcare Safety Systems and Services

Nextech provides a suite of solutions to help healthcare facilities deliver an added level of security, peace of mind, and elevated care to their patients.

Nurse call systems give patients access to responsive and attentive quality care. Wireless mobile communications, smartphone technology, and real-time locating systems integrate to provide situational awareness with effective mobility, optimized workflow, and real-time worker safety. Emergency call systems provide senior and independent living residents with 24/7 connectivity to responders and staff using wristband wearables, real-time locating, and automated daily check-ins.

 

 

Helping to ensure the safety of memory care, dementia, and Alzheimer’s residents by preventing wandering and elopement — while allowing freedom of movement within a secure environment — is essential. Wander management can integrate with our emergency call and nurse call systems, or operate standalone. Discrete wristbands or pendants worn by residents are detected at secured doors and provide alerts on loitering and potential elopement, with automated door lock, elevator disable, and central-station monitoring alerts.

 

 

Infant protection solutions, newborn tracking, and mother/baby matching systems help protect babies and pediatric patients from the threat of abduction and provide real-time visibility and location monitoring. Integration with access control, video surveillance, and nurse call communication systems provides a comprehensive security solution for the most vulnerable patients in hospitals.

 

 

Visitor management support allows you to identify and log every person that enters your building. To protect you from sophisticated methods used to penetrate traditional security efforts, we enable you to run a quick background check against crime databases before printing a temporary photo ID badge for your visitors. A simple graphical interface lets you navigate the program easily, regardless of your level of technical expertise.

 

 

 

Robust personal emergency response protocols are crucial to address unforeseen individual crises that healthcare professionals may encounter during their duties. Whether facing a sudden medical issue, an accident, or a personal emergency, healthcare workers need prompt and coordinated assistance. Nextech helps implement the essential components of this approach — personal emergency response systems with clear communication channels, well-defined emergency protocols, and up-to-date emergency contacts.

 

 

Proper worker safety measures — including infection control protocols, provision of personal protective equipment, ergonomic considerations, and workplace violence prevention strategies — are essential to safeguard the healthcare workforce. Nextech experts help enhance the safety and security of your staff so they can keep operations running smoothly and care for patients with peace of mind.

 

Patient Communication Systems

Nextech provides a suite of solutions to help healthcare facilities deliver an added layer of security, peace of mind, and elevated care to their patients. Whether it’s a quicker response by healthcare providers to a patient’s request, keeping at-risk individuals from leaving the premises unattended, or delivering an extra level of care and protection to infants and their parents, Nextech can customize a solution that fits your facilities’ needs. Our solutions integrate with other security systems — such as intrusion and access control — and are monitored by the professional team at our monitoring operations, with built-in redundancy.

Acute Care Facilities

Nextech helps enhance security at hospitals and other acute care facilities through physical security, emergency preparedness, patient identification measures, information security for sensitive data, and protection of medical equipment.

Senior Living and Long-Term Care

Nextech helps implement reliable access control, prevention of wandering or elopement through monitoring systems, secure medication management, emergency communication systems, and effective visitor management policies.

VA Medical Facilities

We strive to help VA medical facilities provide the most compassionate care possible for our nation’s veterans and to create a welcoming and safe caregiving environment. Our mission is to help protect your patients, visitors, doctors, nurses, and caregiving staff across day-to-day operations — with a comprehensive security program ready to respond to the threats all healthcare institutions face today.
