How to Use Athena's Ambulance Bay Weapons Screening Solution

To address the problem of undetected weapons entering through the emergency ambulance bay, Athena Security has developed a new Ambulance Bay Weapons Screening feature as a purpose-built solution. Staff can now use a dedicated, single Apple iPad to document security incidents in real-time and support consistent screening protocols. The platform records relevant details, captures photographic evidence of collected and confiscated items and the individual involved, and provides a digital or physical paper receipt for the items and contraband. 

With this new system, there is immediate accountability at the point of entry; it identifies possible weapons threats and creates a centralized digital record for the screening of each patient and visitor, when used in combination with the Athena Weapon Screening solution at entryways. 

1. Recording an Ambulance Bay Clear Pass

This step is used to confirm and log that an ambulance has been successfully admitted or cleared through a checkpoint, often indicating a successful and authorized passage.

Action: The operator must click the "Ambulance Bay" button. Result: This action formally accounts for a clear passin the system and takes a picture, creating a digital record of the event.

2. Documenting a Found Item

This is the process for logging an item that has been discovered on the property, which includes capturing its image and automatically recording the operator's information.
