Honeywell prescribes health approach to security for expanding hospital system

Honeywell Win-Pak™ Access Control installed at The Harley Street Clinic

BURGESS HILL, UK, 6 June 2006 - Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today announced the prestigious Harley Street Clinic, part of HCA International, will be outfitted with the Honeywell Security Win-Pak access control system.

The project is particularly challenging because the Clinic comprises a network of interconnecting buildings in Harley Street and neighbouring roads, and most departments are located across different floors, requiring access control at each entrance. The tender for the initial specification was awarded to specialist installers West London Security, which proposed the Win-Pak access control system and proximity readers with site coded cards.

Clinic staff will be able to gain access to relevant departments at all HCA hospital buildings via a photo-ID card based access control system. “I wanted a well-known product, one that had been tried and tested and had a future,” explains Vic Hensher, Estates/Project Manager at The Harley Street Clinic.

HCA International has commenced a five-year security programme, which means that Win-Pak needs to be scalable and have the ability to grow with the needs of The Harley Street Clinic. “We are in this for the long haul, and not looking for a five-minute wonder,” adds Hensher. Win-Pak is expandable and can be networked across different hospital sites, and through software upgrades, and it has the ability to integrate with CCTV and intruder alarm systems.

Win-Pak advanced authorisation improves security control by ensuring that staff or visitors can only access authorised areas. For example, only paediatric nurses and doctors have access to the paediatric floor. Security staff can access Win-Pak software using a web browser to amend, cancel or increase authorisation to all cards – with zone and time restrictions, and can create colour-coded, access-restricted visitor passes.

Following the successful installation of Win-Pak at The Harley Street Clinic, other hospitals within HCA International - including The Portland and The Wellington have also upgraded to the Honeywell access control solution. This means that consultants and staff who work across all hospitals can use the same ID card for access to each hospital building. West London Security has also completed this installation work. Hensher adds: “We chose West London Security because they offered the best overall solution, based on the best products and meeting our requirements. They did an excellent presentation, demonstrating that they were the right people for the job – with the right solution.”

Vic Hensher concludes: “The Healthcare Commission is very pleased with our new security measures. Word of mouth is that security at The Harley Street Clinic is first rate, and that it is the place to go if you have worries or concerns of that nature. I am very happy with the system”.
