Access & Zone Control · Healthcare & Hospitals
Access & Zone Control for healthcare & hospitals sites.
Real-time zone occupancy and restricted-area control built on the same network of Safety Detection Points and safety tags. Purpose-built for the regulatory and operational realities of healthcare & hospitals.
The Salvus Network gives you live occupancy for every zone and enforces who may enter restricted or hazardous areas. Because it works with the site you already have, no turnstiles, you get zone-level awareness without funnelling people through choke points. Operators can see occupancy against permitted limits, spot breaches immediately, and hold an accurate, timestamped record of who was where. For healthcare & hospitals operators, this means hospitals lose thousands of clinical hours a year searching for shared equipment, expose lone clinical staff to violence and aggression, and face the near-impossible task of accounting for patients, staff and visitors when a ward has to be cleared. The Salvus Network puts a safety tag on the people and the kit that matter and detects them at Safety Detection Points across wards, departments and exits, so a nurse under threat raises an alert with their exact location, a missing infusion pump is found in seconds, and a fire evacuation of a ward becomes a live, verified head count rather than a frantic bed-by-bed check. It works with the estate you already have, no turnstiles, so clinical flow is never interrupted.
What you get
Access & Zone Control on a healthcare & hospitals site.
Live zone occupancy
See how many people are in each zone against permitted limits, in real time.
Restricted-area control
Enforce and monitor access to hazardous or high-security zones.
Breach detection
Immediate alerts when someone enters a zone they aren't authorised for.
Occupancy history
Timestamped records of who was in each zone, for audit and investigation.
On the ground
How healthcare & hospitals sites put it to work.
Clinical staff duress
A nurse or community worker facing violence or a medical emergency raises an alert that reaches the response team with their exact last-read location, vital in mental-health, A&E and lone community settings.
Medical equipment tracking
Infusion pumps, syringe drivers, wheelchairs, beds and vital-signs monitors carry safety tags, so clinical staff stop hunting for shared kit and biomedical teams see utilisation and location at a glance.
Ward and department evacuation
When a ward must be cleared, get a live count of staff, and of tagged equipment, at each refuge or muster point, supporting progressive horizontal evacuation without a manual bed check.
Contractor and access control
Keep un-inducted contractors out of clinical and plant areas, and hold an auditable record of who entered restricted spaces such as pharmacy, mortuary or estates plant rooms.
Regulatory alignment
Evidence for the audit trail.
Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration turns on safe, well-led services. The safe and well-led key questions expect providers to protect staff and patients from avoidable harm, to manage the estate and equipment properly, and to have credible emergency and evacuation arrangements, all of which need evidence, not assertion. Alongside CQC, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a duty to plan for and manage evacuation, which is acutely difficult in a hospital where many occupants cannot self-evacuate and progressive horizontal evacuation is the norm. Lone and community-facing staff are covered by the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which require the risks of lone working and violence to be assessed and controlled. The Salvus Network provides the audit trail underneath all of this: who was where during an incident, that a duress alert was raised and answered, and that critical equipment is managed and located, the kind of documented assurance CQC inspections and serious-incident reviews look for.

Proof
Sites already accounted for.
From 22-minute paper musters to a live count in under 3.
“For the first time we can prove, not just claim, that everyone was accounted for.”
Graded-area control without slowing the gowning flow.
“We got the control we needed without a single extra turnstile.”
An assured, time-stamped muster the Competent Authority could see.
“We could show the regulator a timed, accurate muster instead of talking them through a plan.”
Frequently asked questions
Is Access & Zone Control suitable for healthcare & hospitals sites?+
Yes. The Salvus Network is a complete, off-the-shelf solution built for hospitals, trusts and care settings. Safety Detection Points and safety tags give a live, auditable picture of where people were last detected, without turnstiles or manual sign-in.
How does Salvus support compliance for healthcare & hospitals operators?+
It provides the audit trail CQC inspections and serious-incident reviews look for, showing who was where during an incident, that duress alerts were raised and answered, and that evacuation was managed, supporting the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and lone-working duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
What does access & zone control address on a healthcare & hospitals site?+
Hospitals lose clinical hours searching for shared equipment, expose lone clinical staff to violence, and struggle to account for a ward under evacuation. The platform provides located staff duress, real-time equipment tracking and ward-level mustering.
Can we see access & zone control running before we commit?+
Yes, a guided live walk-through shows the platform in action, and you can see the operator console working in the first meeting.
