Security is on everyone’s mind. For very good reasons, most healthcare organizations wouldn’t consider opening their doors to the public without a closed circuit television system in place as an important component of their overall security plan. In a modern healthcare facility, CCTV systems can serve multiple purposes:

1. CCTV systems can function as a deterrent to criminal activity. Whether inside or outside the facility, people are less likely to commit crime or do harm when they believe their activity is being monitored and recorded.
2. CCTV systems can provide evidence and documentation of criminal activity. Authenticated video recordings and pictures can be used as evidence in legal proceedings.
3. CCTV systems can help healthcare organizations expand the surveillance and scope of their security plan and personnel. As it is difficult to be everywhere all the time, closed circuit television systems can assist the security team with extending their range and coverage.
4. CCTV systems within a healthcare facility can reduce the number of FTE’s in the security department. Security departments can be staffed and dispatched to handle events as they happen.

Healthcare organizations have unique challenges and concerns with the deployment and operation of a closed circuit television system. Patient privacy, employee monitoring, risk management, workplace violence, “reasonable expectation” liability and other issues can impact the size, scope, placement and use of the system. For example, if patients or employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a particular place, then cameras should not be located there. However, the use of cameras in seclusion rooms, where patients may cause harm to themselves or others, is generally considered acceptable and reasonable.
