New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health is broadening its use of Motorola Solutions’ safety and security technology to protect patients and staff.
The health system is expanding its adoption of Motorola’s AI-powered security cameras with analytics to identify potential threats and unusual activity and notify security and clinical staff via two-way radios and push-to-talk devices. Northwell is also growing its employment of a digital communication network so security, medical and administrative personnel can quickly connect through two-way radios and smartphones.
“Managing security across a growing health network can be complex,” said Mark Swensen, senior manager of operations for security, safety and emergency management at Northwell Health, in a June 30 news release. “Investing in a security system where the technologies work together simplifies scaling new installations when hospitals and clinics join our network. We can add more security cameras or expand radio use across multiple sites without the challenges that can arise when security systems don’t easily connect.”
