Equipment Library Lockers
EBME Managers face the daily challenge of missing or misplaced medical devices like syringe drivers, impacting patient care and stretching already limited resources. Lost equipment not only disrupts workflows but adds unnecessary cost pressures to healthcare facilities.
Traka’s equipment library lockers help secure, track, and control access to vital devices, improving process flows, reducing loss, and ensuring critical equipment is always ready when needed.
Healthcare key management challenges
Healthcare facilities encounter numerous challenges in managing access to vital resources like medicines and equipment. Traka's solutions alleviate these burdens by offering granular control and real-time tracking.
Rather than nurses spending time looking for keys, manage access to controlled medicine keys on a granular level and record who accessed what and when.
Device management lockers
Traka smart lockers help hospitals manage the shared devices needed by staff, like tablets, radios, and specialized medical equipment. Our systems provide the same intelligent access control you'll find in our key cabinets, with options for integrated device charging and per-device tracking using RFID.

Frequently asked questions
The first step is to conduct a thorough review of your security management plan. You will also need to consider reported incidents, vulnerabilities, and regulatory changes.
Seek out security systems that offer seamless integration, providing centralized visibility and reporting across areas such as buildings, systems, key and equipment access. For instance, combining access control log data with video footage can significantly aid in culprit identification. Being able to report on security incidents effectively is essential to maintain regulatory compliance.
The choice of Identity and Access Management (IAM) system is crucial. Does your current solution meet your current needs? Your controls should be capable of efficiently managing access for shift work and temporary staffing.
Addressing gaps in visibility is imperative. For example, leveraging a key and equipment management system integrated with IAM to can provide the controls, visibility and logging needed. This integrated approach is essential for ensuring comprehensive security coverage.
