Key security issues have become a top priority for most organisations and hospitals are no exception. Security in hospitals is a high priority with staff managing multiple keys that need to be controlled and monitored 24 hours a day. C.Q.R.iT^® addressed the unique security needs of health care facilities in hospitals such as Royal Women's and Children's Hospital, Sydney, and John James Hospital, Canberra.

The Security Problem
● Manual recording of key access is labour intensive and ineffective.
● The risks in securing property and equipment loss are large.
● The risks associated with narcotic pilfering is real and dangerous.
● Hospital records need to be kept under high security.
● The stock take of keys can be time consuming.
● The return of keys by contractors a needs to be assured.
● The cost of lost keys is very expensive to rectify.

The C.Q.R.iT^®  Solution

● Limit access to restricted areas of the hospital.
● Increase security around expensive equipment.
● Tighten access to narcotics.
● Control and monitor access to keys.
● Raise staff awareness and hence accountability.
