Nedap provides secure and practical solution for hospital drugs
Groenlo, The Netherlands and Darent Valley, Kent (UK)
The key based locks in the existing cupboards were replaced with Nedap Mifare electronic locks, integrated into the AEOS security management platform. The staff were provided with Mifare Smart Cards instead of keys. This solved the problem of locks wearing out and brought key-management to an end.
In addition, AEOS Locker Management enables access to the drug cupboards to be managed from a web-based software application. As each person is registered within the system, the user-friendly software application enables a supervisor to quickly and easily check who has accessed the drug cupboards at any time. In this way, it became not only an extremely practical, but also a secure solution with full audit capabilities. At Nedap Security Management, we call this micro-level access control.
Currently Darent Valley Hospital uses the Locker Management functionality of the AEOS security management platform to secure their drug cupboards. In the future, Darent Valley Hospital could choose to easily expand the system with other AEOS features, such as access control, intrusion or CCTV.
