by AF0505 g5 — May 10, 2010—Brivo announced that The Memorial Hospital (TMH) at Craig (Colorado) has installed a Brivo OnSite SE access control solution to improve security in its recently expanded facility. Security Install Solutions served as the project integrator and Cliff West of Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch was the technology and security consultant.
The Brivo OnSite SE manages access at 42 external and internal doors located throughout the hospital. In addition to patient treatment areas, access is managed and monitored in other high security areas such as the OB wing and also in the hospital’s business and administration offices.
The hospital chose Smart Cards over standard proximity cards, so that staff cards provide both access and cashless vending in the cafeteria. And because of the way the Brivo technology accepts multiple card formats, the hospital can easily provide access to first responders.
The Brivo system is also used to control access at several outlying clinics for those staff members who travel between the main hospital and one or more of the clinics—all using the same cards and all managed by the one Brivo interface, regardless of location. Such functionality saved TMH significant installation costs and leveraged existing infrastructure, says the company.
