Unlock a Smarter Future for Healthcare with Abloy

New security technology in the form of a digital key from Abloy has revolutionised one of the most common daily tasks on hospital wards, accessing the drugs cupboard. The Protec2 Cliq Remote digital key has helped hospitals nationally to streamline their workflow with amazing results.

The drug management solution has been trialled at a number of major hospitals including Queens Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. As the flagship hospital of the Midlands, The QE treats around one million patients per year and operates at 100% capacity. In busy and high-pressure environments such as this, it is imperative that all systems work as efficiently as possible to optimise daily procedures.

The Protec2 Cliq Remote digital key has transformed their internal drug management systems. By allocating each member of staff who dispenses medicines a fully-trackable digital fob access to this restricted location has been facilitated with overwhelmingly positive results.

To put this into context, on average a nurse will visit the ‘drugs cupboard’ fifty times per shift. Historically, medical staff have spent a lot of redundant time looking for the master key to the locked cupboard. This has now been eliminated with the use of the Cliq digital key, leaving more precious time for nurses to spend on patient care each day.

Another advantage of this Cliq is the system’s ability to produce valuable data for reports and audits to facilitate CQC compliance. It is fully compatible with other NHS systems and can be easily integrated to generate accurate audits and also support internal operating procedures such as stock management.

Abloy have installed the Cliq electronic key system into a number of NHS trust's, private hospitals and hospices around the UK all with positive results. Check Your Security are pleased to partner with Abloy and work together to achieve a safer and more efficient environment in which patient care is administered.

Clinton Button, Commercial Director, Check Your Security, comments;

“The introduction of the Abloy Cliq digital key offers major advantages to hospital security management and presents a wealth of benefits from operational management and optimised staffing. We consider this to be an access management solution that could run alongside the overall Access Control, forming part of transforming how hospitals may manage critical assets such as drug cabinets or blood banks. Tailored security.”
