Our Hospitals Are Now Even Safer and More Secure.
CharterCARE’s hospitals have implemented a remarkable new safety and security system to protect patients, visitors, and our employees.
This new system, called Evolv Express, uses advanced sensor technology and artificial intelligence (AI) at our entrances to detect any metal, to distinguish between metal and weapons, and to provide an immediate alert to our Security Department personnel. This enhances security by reliably detecting threats and enables an immediate directed search, resulting in a more dignified and respectful screening process that empowers our security professionals and enhances the visitor experience. This same system is used at thousands of healthcare facilities and other venues including Gillette Stadium, Boston Garden, and all Disney locations.
As we all know, alarming changes in today’s society make advanced security capability essential, as evidenced by national events. While we believe our facilities are safe and secure, ensuring the safety of our patients and the public is a top priority. Using a $200,000 Federal grant we recently received, we have taken an important step toward meeting this obligation.
