Patient Protection Solution Overview
Securitas Healthcare’s Patient Protection solution offers hospital-wide protection against patient elopement, wandering and abduction.
Challenge
Patient elopement and wandering are well documented patient safety risks in departments across the hospital—including the ED, Behavioral Health, Rehabilitation, Memory Care and Pediatrics.
Protecting vulnerable patients is complicated by the required travel to other parts of the hospital for tests or procedures.
In the worst case, elopement incidents expose the hospital to serious financial and regulatory consequences.
Even less severe wandering incidents are a costly drain on clinical and security resources that must be diverted from patient care. The result is lower efficiency, compromised safety and reduced staff and patient satisfaction.
How It Works
Why Securitas Healthcare for Patient Protection?
Securitas Healthcare has 20+ years of experience in patient protection—along with an unmatched team of designers, patient security experts and clinical educators.
Our solution gives clinicians and security personnel the tools to help protect patients while minimizing the impact on workflow. Access the system from any browser-based device for easy tag application, tag swap, patient transfers, real-time alerts and discharge.
Every patient wears a Wi-Fi tag specifically designed for patient security. The tag can be worn on the wrist or ankle. Once it’s activated through a simple procedure, each patient is protected anywhere in the hospital with Wi-Fi coverage. That includes exit protection, and continual supervision, as well as out-of-unit and tamper alerting.
