Hugs Infant Protection Solution Overview
Securitas Healthcare’s Hugs® Infant Protection solution is the #1 trusted infant security system worldwide. Each year it protects more than 2 million infants across nearly 1,800 hospitals.
Challenge
Infant abductions have happened at hospitals of all sizes and types all over the world. And the risks are rising.
Stranger abductions and mother/baby mismatches are no longer the only concerns. Hospitals must be ready for modern patient security challenges—from family abductions to pediatric patient flight and even cyberthreats.
Individual protection of each patient has become essential for every hospital.
How It Works
Why Securitas Healthcare for Infant Protection?
Hugs is in use today to protect not just well newborns, but also pediatric patients of all ages and NICU babies at open-crib stage.
No other system swaddles infants in more protection. Hugs continually watches over each infant the moment a tamper-detecting tag is attached, with all exits guarded in Labor and Delivery, Postpartum, the NICU and Pediatrics.
Hugs provides effective and scalable protection. It’s the right choice whether supporting a 20-bed critical access hospital or a large urban medical center with thousands of births a year.
The Kisses® component for Hugs is the only automatic and audible baby match support to traditional ID bands. It brings peace of mind for nurses and moms.
“Nobody wants to be called for a Code Pink. But if there were an event, you really need a system to be able to track the baby throughout the hospital. This is the direction everybody needs to go in.”
