How to secure your facilities from the outside in

Healthcare facilities face the challenge of protecting patients, staff, and assets while creating an environment that supports healing. From the hospital entrance to the patient room, every access point requires secure, reliable management.

dormakaba’s integrated access control solutions for healthcare provide a layered approach to security, managing movement from the perimeter to the patient room. With scalable systems designed to support healthcare standards and regulations, your facility can balance patient safety, staff efficiency, and compliance—without compromise.
