Deterrence and protection for employees and patients
Wearable cameras in healthcare settings provide a visual and audio record of interactions between healthcare providers and patients, promoting transparency, accountability, and a sense of safety. They can help you mitigate risks, enhance patient care, and optimize operational efficiency while ensuring a more secure workplace. Axis wearable solutions are based on an open platform, so they plug right into your current video management system from Axis or another supplier. You’ll do a better-than-ever job of deterring and protecting, and of gathering documentation and forensic evidence.
Compliance and integrity
You control access to all video and audio footage regardless of where it's stored. Recording protected health information (PHI) is not a HIPAA or privacy violation unless the recordings are improperly disclosed. So, ensuring compliance is a matter of making sure video is stored securely and setting up rules and regulations for when it can be viewed by whom and when (if ever) it can be shared. The Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform, safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access. In addition, data is encrypted during offloading and transferred to its destination.
Benefits of Axis wearable cameras
- Validation. The Axis Edge Vault hardware-based cybersecurity platform safeguards the device’s integrity from factory and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access.
- Cost savings. Choose to use your own VMS and avoid payments for cloud storage and management. You also have direct access to evidence that can put a stop to costly unwarranted claims.
- Support and training. Enjoy full support and speedy onboarding with easy-to-use wearables and plug-and-play docking stations with automatic video uploading.
- Deterrence. When people feel like there’s a “digital witness” to their actions, they’re less likely to behave badly.
- Safety. Less likelihood of patient aggression and fewer unfounded complaints contribute to a sense of safety for employees.
- Documentation. Use audio and video documentation to deter unwarranted claims, as evidence in court proceedings, and for training purposes.
- Transparency. Operators and supervisors can easily access and view footage documenting incidents and events.
Focus areas
Safeguarding patients and personnel
Our wearable cameras deter aggression, increase accountability, and provide valuable documentation should an incident occur. They can also send an immediate alert to security personnel when help is needed. Patients tend to behave less aggressively when they feel they have an audience and staff is more likely to stay cool and comply with regulations and protocols. This can help reduce the number of both incidents and complaints. And wearable cameras provide an accurate, objective record of all kinds of events and encounters. So they aid in investigations and protect wearers, patients, and your organization against unwarranted accusations, false claims, and liability.
Use footage for training
Footage from wearable cameras can serve as valuable material for training and education in healthcare procedures and protocols. Observing recordings of real-life scenarios improves staff skills and knowledge, leading to superior performance, increased efficiency, and better patient care, which can ultimately result in positive ROI for your organization. Footage from wearable cameras can also be a useful tool for teaching personnel how to respond to dangerous situations. For example, you can analyze footage of an incident or use portions of an encounter as the basis for discussing how students would respond to a similar set of circumstances.
Privacy for bystanders in investigations
Axis wearable solutions possess the ability to integrate with current security solutions and provide real-time monitoring with a live stream software. Before sharing video recordings, you may need to comply with regulations that protect the privacy of bystanders. A video redaction tool in AXIS Camera Station lets you easily mask individuals or areas in a scene that are not of interest to an investigation. You can, for example, mask only selected moving objects or mask all still and moving objects except persons of interest.
