Access Control

RBAC stands for role-based access control. This type of system allows you to set up permissions based on a user's role in order to enroll new staff quickly and easily. Role-based access control also allows you to quickly change permissions for all users with the same role simultaneously and efficiently.

The number of people granted access to your hospital or healthcare facility is up to you. There’s really no limit on how many people can have badge access to a building or portion of a building. You will want to be organized in keeping track of who has access cards because your building’s security depends on vigilance, awareness, and tracking.

Accounting for human error is an important aspect of healthcare security. No one is perfect or can watch out for every threat at all times. That’s why access control and careful access control management are so important—so you can have multiple layers of security protecting your healthcare facility, employees, patients, visitors, and assets. The beauty of access control, as opposed to a key system, is that if a card gets lost or stolen, the card’s access authorization can be turned off. Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately and documented so no one will be able to use it to gain entrance to your facility.

Accutech has designed access control to be cost-effective and reliable. The cost of your access systems will depend on a variety of factors: the number of doors that need to be secured, how large your facility is, how many employees require access, integration requirements, and more.

Yes, Accutech Access does allow for temporary access. Temporary badge access could be used under certain circumstances, such as in an elder care facility where family members visit frequently.

User rights are handled at a computer where you can add users, delete users, and edit access privileges. Access control credentials can be adjusted depending on the needs of the facility. For instance, a doctor may need more access to various parts of a facility than a delivery worker. There are a variety of other customization options for card access control as well.

Access control solutions can do both. You can adjust your system to lock doors if an at-risk patient such as a senior in an elder care facility gets too close to the doors. You can also adjust alarms to suit your facility’s needs so workers don’t experience alarm fatigue.

Operational efficiency is important for any business, but especially those invested inpatient care. Seconds can save lives, and access control can create a more efficient workplace. Nurses and other hospital personnel will find it easier to do the job of securing and caring for patients when they know that their work area is safely secured. Specific administrative tasks such as controlling who has access to dispensaries, expensive medical equipment, and protected areas can be easily added and removed using access control software. Additionally, tracking of who has entered these areas can also be reported for auditing purposes.

Role-based access control is established by assigning roles/users to access points. Only those employees who have been granted access to specific access points can enter that area of a hospital. Access control can be based on specific roles of employees, and user permissions are assigned through the software system (using a computer).
