The Role of Health Care Security in Enhancing Hospital Safety: Challenges, Best Practices, and Technological Innovations

Abstract

Modern healthcare requires enhanced hospital security to improve healthcare delivery and address potential challenges and risks. Accordingly, the review aims to explore the critical role of healthcare security in enhancing hospital safety. Technological advances are evolving the healthcare landscape, necessitating the need for robust security protocols to enhance hospital security. Healthcare security helps ensure the safety of patients, staff and healthcare workers while maintaining the integrity of hospital operations. Key responsibilities include access control management, surveillance, emergency response and maintaining regulatory compliance. The review also seeks to explore best practices for training healthcare security personnel, leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and biometrics, and addressing common challenges such as resource constraints and balancing access with security. Hospitals can create safer and more resilient environments, ensure the well-being of all stakeholders and improve the healthcare experience by adopting modern security solutions.
