Addressing Key Challenges in Healthcare Estates with ABLOY’s eCLIQ Solution

Healthcare estates managers face increasing pressure to ensure the seamless operation of their facilities. Whether securing critical infrastructure, complying with strict regulations, or managing staff access, these environments demand robust, adaptable, and efficient solutions. The eCLIQ system is here to help tackle these challenges.

Key Challenges in Healthcare Estates
Healthcare facilities operate continuously, requiring estate managers to navigate unique challenges, including:

• Lost Keys and Unauthorised Access: Lost or stolen keys compromise security and can disrupt operations.
• Compliance with New Regulations: Recent frameworks such as Health Technical Memorandums (HTMs) enforce strict guidelines for securing critical infrastructure like water and electrical systems.
• Operational Efficiency: Ensuring that staff and contractors can access areas efficiently without compromising security is critical.
• Accountability and Auditability: Healthcare estates must monitor and control access across diverse facilities to prevent misuse and unauthorised entry.
