Case Study: Athens City-County Health Department achieves ironclad, emergency-ready records security with Brivo Onair (Brivo)

The health department in Ohio needed ironclad security in the event of a public emergency

Athens City-County Health Department needed ironclad security to protect confidential health records and to meet state and federal requirements for a first-response command center. Facing vulnerabilities from a standard lock-and-key system and needing grant-funded upgrades, the department chose Brivo and its Brivo Onair solution to demonstrate compliance and strengthen access controls.

Brivo implemented Brivo Onair to provide off-site, anytime control, role-based access schedules, an audit trail and scalable access points. The system met state security requirements and gained quick approval, allowing the department to track who entered the center (with timestamps and duration), generate staff time-and-attendance reports, manage multiple administrators remotely, and deliver demonstrable compliance and peace of mind.
