The other solution shown was FASTKEY, a software for tracking and controlling key and access card management in hospitals. Users can view key assignments on maps of floors, specific areas, rooms and spaces within a room, and search high-risk areas for a history of who had access to it.
"The program allows you to rate the rooms on security risk. So a key to a drug room, OR or cath lab would have a higher priority if it were lost,” said Sable, adding that the product also has a core inventory so that only the lock with the missing key can be replaced. “Losing one key may cause facilities to have to key 200 different locks. That may be $300 a lock to be replaced. It’s a big financial impact.”
