Maxxess, a global corporation specializing in the access control sector and recognized for its extensive integration capabilities, recently developed and implemented for Banner Health, one of the largest nonprofit hospital systems in the country, a comprehensive security solution to protect areas containing radioactive sources.
Fulfilling RSP And NNSA Requirements
The solution, designed and built using Maxxess award-winning universal security management platform eFusion, adheres to the recommendations designated under the Radiological Security Partnership (RSP), the security improvements program developed by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), to enhance levels of security at hospitals and other civilian facilities that use and/or store radioactive sources.
In order to implement recommendations made by the RSP, in a timely and cost-effective manner, Banner Health chose to expand on the integrated features already available to them within the Maxxess eFusion security management platform. See the detailed case study.
Maxxess eFusion software has more than 50 fully integrated third-party manufacturer’s products already incorporated, a key feature that provided for the seamless integration of Banner’s existing access control stations with new fingerprint readers, a video management system, automation to link events with access control and the expanded monitoring of alarm events through selected third-party alarm panels. The integrations provide for immediate alarm notifications under certain circumstances and simultaneous video view that allows security personnel to verify, assess and respond appropriately to potential or real threats.
Managing Security Across Multiple Locations
This eFusion solution allowed Banner to configure and implement enhanced security protocols to meet or exceed RSP recommendations, without incurring new design build, or software development costs. Additionally, the eFusion platform provides unlimited scope to upgrade and scale as needs change.
“Banner Health was already using the Maxxess eFusion system and had significant infrastructure in place for access control and monitoring of specific areas network wide,” commented Jacob Raymond, Director, Security Support Services for Banner Health. “We evaluated our options and chose to expand on the functionality of our existing platform and internal response protocol to meet the RSP recommendations. We did not need special development or complicated integrations, it was all supported within our group and the Maxxess solution.”
Banner Health uses Maxxess eFusion to manage its comprehensive security solutions at Banner Health properties in seven states. This includes access control on more than 4,700 openings serving 90,000 cardholders, video integration as needed and 130 eFusion workstations. The eFusion software, hardware and business partner integrations continue to provide the necessary features Banner needs as they continue to expand their network and daily operational changes.
