Multi-Campus Hospital Upgrades With Cost Effective, Flexible Access Control
For more than 100 years, Agnesian HealthCare has been providing medical services and support to the residents of Fond du Lac County in eastern Wisconsin. Its healthcare coverage has grown from a single hospital in the city of Fond du Lac to more than 40 facilities throughout the county, including an additional two hospitals, several clinics, surgery centers, hospice facilities, retail pharmacies and more, making it easy and convenient for patients to receive care close to home.
Agnesian HealthCare is the recipient of several outstanding achievement awards for excellence in healthcare and boasts nine accreditations for national quality standards., all while maintaining adherence to the many applicable state and federal regulations. For example, Agnesian meets the standards set by The Joint Commission, which oversees the industry’s accreditation process to ensure patient/personnel safety and standards compliance. Among other stipulations, accreditation requires that Agnesian HealthCare facilities identify sensitive security locations within the hospital (i.e., birthing units, pharmacy, emergency, etc.) that may have controlled access to sensitive areas. Without this, Agnesian HealthCare is at risk of losing accreditation, along with funding.
