Case Study: Weill Cornell Medical Center improves security and accountability with Morse Watchmans key control and guard tour systems

Weill Cornell Medical Center - Customer Case Study

Weill Cornell Medical Center, a leading academic medical center, required a durable key control and guard tour system to secure its 24/7 facility and meet IAHSS standards without disrupting hospital operations. The challenge was to control access to sensitive areas, ensure guard patrol accountability, and maintain a visible security presence. They partnered with vendor Morse Watchmans to address these needs with the KeyWatcher and PowerCheck systems.

Morse Watchmans implemented its rugged KeyWatcher key control system for secure key access tracking and its PowerCheck guard tour system with handheld data recorders for efficient patrols. The results significantly enhanced security without impacting patient or staff convenience and improved operational efficiency for security personnel. The network capabilities allowed for instant updates to key access, preventing incidents, while the guard tour system provided unpredictable patrol routes and instant incident reporting.
