Rest
Assured with Hospital Safes
Safety and Security are major concerns for all hospitals, nursing homes and
assisted
living facilities. Providing a “safe place” away from home and peace
of
mind for patients and family members are a constant challenge for administrators.
In-room safes for patients make a difference.
Patient
Personal Property
Very often patients bring valuables to the hospital:watches, jewelry,
wallets, cash, credit cards, hearing aids, glasses, blackberry devices, iPods,
portable DVD players, etc. In-room safes protect these valuables.
In-Room
Safes
In-room safes enhance the hospital stay for both the patient and the staff.
They provide a secure and convenient solution. The safe’s large LED display
and audio feedback make it very easy for patients to use.
Revenue
Generating Plan
As an alternative to providing in-room safes to patients as a courtesy, the
hospital may wish to charge patients a nominal fee to recover costs and generate
revenue similar to charges to patients for TVs and phones. As an option, the
hospital may choose to remotely activate the safe and control the patient billing
through a Customer Service call center.
How
the SafePlace Program is Implemented
- Your facility manager visits each patient room accompanied
by a SafePlace technician.
- Together they determine safe placement for each room
(closet, wall, shelf, night stand)
- Experienced technicians (who are insured and bonded)
install and test the safes.
- Your security personnel receive training to operate
the safes and the BiMax override unit.
Third
Party Lease/Purchase Financing Arranged
No Cash Outlay Ever Required
The first payment is not due for 12 months after installation. The hospital
would not be required to outlay funds at any time. This is done by adopting
the SafePlace Lease Financing Program. The first payment is not due until 12
months after the installation of the safes and after patient rental fees have
been received for approximately 12 months.
