Some areas of a hospital should be for authorised staff only. Here is how to control them.
Key takeaways
- Authorised staff only
- Different levels
- Entry history
- Quick changes
01The problem
Theatres, sterile areas and plant rooms should not be open to anyone who walks past. A reader on the door, staff cards and an entry record keep the area for those who need it, and show who was there if something goes wrong.
02How it works
03What to check before you buy
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Who needs which door | A simple access table |
| Reader type | Card, PIN or fingerprint |
| Emergency release | Safe exit planned with your adviser |
| Records | How long entries are kept |
| Maintenance | A plan, spares and a response time agreed before you buy |
| Your own requirements | Confirm them with your regulator and advisers |
