When an incident occurs, security and fraud investigators go to work. They must be able to rely on innovative security tools that allow them to swiftly locate and analyze the information needed to determine the proper resolution. Financial institutions require intuitive platforms that can be leveraged at a moment's notice and across multiple departments.
Hospital security poses unique challenges. Patient safety is critical, especially considering the vulnerability of the population, yet many hospital areas are accessible to the public. For this reason, patient safety initiatives are incredibly important. Having security cameras in hospitals to detect and verify potentially critical events and maintaining secure access to high-risk areas is
Technology is contributing to the transformation of healthcare facilities. Convergint Technologies, in partnership with Axis Communications, can help enhance patient care and improve hospital efficiencies with the incorporation of modern audio and video technology. By utilizing the latest IP cameras in conjunction with audio solutions and analytics, hospitals are able
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an all-encompassing category which includes a wide range of neural networks with different capabilities. Neural networks are segmented by how they approach a particular, unstructured data set or problem, either with a process, algorithm, or machine learning approach. In this article, see how Convergint, partnered with Milestone,
In critical situations, accurate information is an essential part of effective communication, collaboration, and decision making. Control rooms provide the visual capability to monitor live events for a higher level of security. Convergint, partnered with Christie Digital, can implement control room solutions to reduce risk.
Parking is a big headache for healthcare facilities. Many hospitals have parking lots or garages that are for patients, visitors, and physicians only. Security directors are tasked with making sure only those authorized people a facilities’ parking lot. Partnered with Avigilon, Convergint can implement License Plate Recognition (LPR) analytics to help healthcare facilities.
Patient elopement is a common concern at healthcare facilities. When a patient leaves their floor without being properly discharged, they may be a risk to themselves and to others. To enhance patient safety and decrease the time it takes security to find an eloped patient, Convergint can implement Avigilon Appearance Search™ technology.
Nearly 90% of healthcare organizations have experienced a data breach in the past two years, and nearly half have had more than five data breaches during that same timeframe, according to a study by the Ponemon Institute. The industry has seen an explosive increase in targeted attacks recently as evidenced by
Healthcare facilities have a duty to protect a patient’s privacy. HIPAA is United States legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. In certain situations, privacy could be compromised when video surveillance is used to record patients, potentially causing a conflict with HIPAA regulations.
Convergint Technologies is participating as an exhibitor at the IAHSS Annual Conference April 15-18 at The Sheraton Grand Chicago hotel in Chicago, Illinois.
