The problem
Badge swipe records show who opened a door — not who actually entered, how many people entered, or how long they stayed.
Controlled substance diversion often involves unauthorised access to medication rooms — which goes undetected without video evidence.
HIPAA demands evidence of who physically accessed areas containing ePHI. A $3.5M settlement was reached following an access control failure.
Unauthorised access to infant care areas — or tailgating behind an authorised staff member — can go unnoticed without camera-based access monitoring.
A single badge swipe can let multiple people through a door. Without camera verification, tailgating into restricted areas is undetectable.
Medication rooms and records areas accessed outside normal working hours carry the highest risk of undetected unauthorised entry.
What FlowLinks monitors
Log every entry to medication rooms and pharmacy areas with timestamp, camera ID and a video clip per open.
Monitor access to records rooms and areas containing electronic protected health information for HIPAA compliance.
Detect and alert on any access to infant care areas — including tailgating behind authorised staff.
Alert when more than one person enters a restricted area during a single door-open event.
Trigger an immediate alert when a restricted room is accessed outside of configured authorised hours.
All access events stored with clip, timestamp and zone label — retrievable on demand for HIPAA, CMS and DEA reviews.
How it works
FlowLinks integrates with cameras covering medication rooms, records areas, NICU zones and other restricted spaces via RTSP.
Virtual zones are drawn over the camera feed at each restricted room entrance. Access rules and alert thresholds are configured per zone.
Every entry is detected — including after-hours access, tailgating and unusually long dwell times.
After-hours access, tailgating and unknown-person entries trigger an immediate alert to the relevant security or compliance contact.
Every access event is stored with timestamp, clip and zone label — ready to pull during an audit, investigation or regulatory review.
