Case Study

In the healthcare industry, a robust healthcare access control system is crucial to protect personnel safety, sensitive information, and medical facilities, while ensuring secure and efficient operational workflows. This healthcare access control system utilizes advanced technologies to provide a comprehensive solution for hospitals and medical facilities.

1. Multi-Factor Identification and Role-Based Access Control

CT9 family supports multiple identification technologies, including mobile phone BLE/NFC, PIN code, QR code, and RFID card. The healthcare access control system provides employees and visitors with different levels of restricted or authorized access to enter the hospital or specific areas during different time periods. This allows for seamless management of various personnel categories, such as patients, visitors, doctors, nurses, administrative staff, and external suppliers. For instance, medical staff can access patient wards and treatment areas during their scheduled shifts, while administrative staff can enter office areas and restricted data centers. This role-based access control ensures that individuals can only access designated areas during authorized time periods, enhancing security and operational efficiency.

2. Contactless Mobile Access Control

The healthcare access control system offers contactless mobile BLE/NFC access control to reduce physical contact, thereby eliminating the risk of transmitting infectious diseases.

3. Storage Cabinet Management

The solution includes an access control system designed for various storage needs within the hospital. The healthcare access control system supports multiple  identification technologies for storage cabinet management. Additionally, drug storage areas in pharmacies and medical supply rooms can be secured using RFID card technology. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access these critical areas, protecting valuable assets and sensitive information.

4. Integration with Third-Party Devices

The healthcare access control system is designed to seamlessly integrate with third-party devices, such as light, exit button, and fire alarm system. In the event of an emergency, CT9 family can automatically unlock doors to facilitate safe evacuation and provide real-time access control data to emergency responders. This integrated technology enhances overall safety and ensures compliance with emergency protocols.

5. Cloud-Based Security and Real-Time Monitoring

The healthcare access control system is a cloud-based platform which ensures real time monitoring and data encryption via HTTP/HTTPs protocols. This measure allows administrators to track access activities, generate comprehensive reports, and identification potential security threats. This identification enables quick response to unauthorized access attempts and helps maintain a secure environment.

6. Work Time Attendance Management

For hospital staff, the access control system can be integrated with the HR/ERP system to track data for work time attendance management. The system provides accurate records of working hours, ensuring compliance with labor regulations and optimizing workforce management. This feature helps monitor staff attendance during critical shifts in departments like Emergency Room or ICU.

7. Medical Device and Sensitive Area Management

The healthcare access control system ensures that only authorized personnel can access sensitive areas and medical equipment, such as intensive care units, laboratories, and medication rooms. It ensures that only professional personnel can operate specialized medical equipment, thereby maintaining compliance with healthcare regulations. This not only protects valuable medical assets but also ensures patient safety by preventing unauthorized access to restricted areas.

8. Cashless Payment Solutions

CT9 family supports various credentials, such as QR codes, RFID cards, and NFC/BLE mobile IDs, authorizing healthy staff and visitors to access the dining hall or vending machines in the hospital. By integrating RFID technology, patients and staff can make convenient contactless payments, reducing the need for physical cash transactions and further enhancing efficiency.

9、Parking lot Management

Civintec provides an SDK that enables the access control system to integrate seamlessly into third-party software or devices, such as barrier lever and fire alarm to build parking IoT solutions for hospital. Self-service parking method enables visitor to use mobile BLE/NFC credentials or QR code to process automatic payment for temporary access.

In summary, this healthcare access control solution provides a comprehensive and secure approach to managing access within medical facilities. By utilizing advanced technologies and integrating multiple functions, it enhances security, operational efficiency, and overall patient care.
