Healthcare physical security challenges

Healthcare security leaders face growing pressure to ensure safe environments while navigating constantly changing physical spaces, systems, and expectations.
From shifting compliance requirements to outdated records and fragmented tools, maintaining visibility into your physical security posture is harder than ever.
In this eBook, you’ll learn how leading healthcare organizations are improving oversight, streamlining operations, and reducing audit risk by rethinking how they manage physical security infrastructure.

What you’ll learn

• Why traditional documentation no longer meets operational demands.
  Learn why point-in-time floorplans, PDFs, and CAD files fall short in dynamic healthcare environments – and how this creates risk when it’s time to demonstrate compliance.
• How visibility degrades over time and why it matters.
  See how even small changes can lead to gaps in oversight, fragmented records, and added stress during CMS, TJC, and HIPAA reviews.
• What lifecycle management means in practice.
  Discover how a lifecycle-based approach allows teams to keep access controls, devices, and documentation aligned in real time, not just at project closeout.
• How SiteOwl supports real-time security system visibility.
  Explore how hospitals use SiteOwl to stay audit-ready, reduce manual effort, and manage physical security across design, installation, and service workflows.
