Medical Construction + Design: “Security Systems: Real Risks, Effective Solutions”

An article authored by Anastasios Douvikas, Ghafari’s Manager of ICT + Security Systems Engineering, recently appeared in Medical Construction + Design. Titled “Security Systems: Real Risks, Effective Solutions”, the article details the potential security breaches that today’s healthcare providers face, along with insights on implementing the right preventative solutions.

“Safety, protection from theft and potential litigation costs are primary factors driving the design of security systems for healthcare facilities,” Tassos writes. “Remediation technologies span a range of functionalities from perimeter surveillance and intrusion detection to employee card readers, and from strategically located panic buttons to RFID wrist tags for patients.
