Smart key management solutions for efficient estate managament

In sectors like healthcare, where time may be a critical factor, the effective management of the hospital estate forms a crucial role in enabling the provision of successful service delivery to patients and staff alike.

Within the healthcare environment, every decision related to the effective Management of the site, including keyholding, needs to comply with strict regulations to help mitigate risks and ensure the duty of care for all parties: patients, visitors, staff and contractors.

At the same time, prompt, secure and auditable access to buildings, departments, vital equipment and pharmacies, is absolutely essential. Any delays in access, or loss of keys / access cards, may have serious implications on the effective delivery of services to patients and staff than in similar sectors.

Furthermore, facilities management (FM) service delivery—whether it’s soft FM, such as security and cleaning, or hard FM like heating system repairs or reactive maintenance — has a heightened importance in healthcare, as it directly impacts the wellbeing of vulnerable individuals receiving care, as well as the staff who provide care for them.

Keynetics’ SentriGuard key management system is an ideal, cost-effective solution to overcome keyholding challenges in various healthcare facilities:

HOSPITALS

LARGE NHS TRUSTS

HEALTH CENTRES

GP SURGERIES

CARE HOMES

For a fraction of the cost of a digital access control system, typically requiring hard-wiring, door or lock changes, SentriGuard offers complete access traceability while eliminating the risks of key loss and the need for consequential key and lock replacements.

SentriGuard is a smart, scalable key management system that works seamlessly thanks to three core elements:

An electronic key safe with commercial grade security, backed by LPS 1175 C1 and C3 certification and Police Preferred Specification status by SBD.
A user-friendly mobile app that allows users to open specific key safes they have been assigned to, either 24/7 or during designated days and hours.
A cloud-based platform with customisable user capabilities based on their role that is assigned by the platform administrators.

All key safe access is granted and revoked remotely via the platform, with an audit trail is automatically generated every time a key safe is opened with the app. Missing keys, key detection and low battery alerts can be viewed on the platform for immediate action to ensure that day-to-day estate operations are not disrupted.

In cases where emergency access is required—such as for reactive maintenance engineers who are not registered on the system—a one-time access code can be generated for entry to a specific location.
