Electronic Safes in Healthcare

Anyone who has stayed in a hospital knows the hassle of keeping track of all of your belongings during your stay. Even if your time at the hospital is not an emergency, it can be hectic to deal with the things you brought from home and items brought to you by friends and family while being in a place that isn\’t your home. 

For hospitals wanting to increase their hospitality and ease their patients minds when it comes to their valuables, consider installing electronic safes in patient rooms. The benefits for both the healthcare facility and patient are numerous. Consider this: one hospital had to pay $44,000 in patient theft claims in 2010. That is a lot of money that could be going to the salary of a hardworking staff member or more medical equipment.  And in nursing homes and assisted living centers, theft is the number one reported crime.

An easy solution to this is providing in-room safes at hospitals or other medical facilities. This allows the patients to have 24/7 access to their valuables, while feeling secure about their location and safety. Patients don\’t have to keep track of things like their keys, wallets, and jewelry while being potentially limited physically. They can keep them right at the bedside in a beside safe. 

And with bedside safes, the hospital staff can focus on doing what they do best, taking care of the patients. For more information about how safes can help increase patient satisfaction in the healthcare industry, contact us at Safemark Systems today.
