Intercom for Healthcare
Overview
Verkada Intercom empowers healthcare organizations to answer calls for entry and emergencies faster and more effectively. Through rigorous visitor screening, organizations can better protect nurses and staff from workplace violence. Intercoms also safeguard patients through controlled access to restricted areas like NICUs, ORs, and ICUs. Plus, integrating emergency video intercoms across healthcare campuses allows patients in distress to quickly connect with urgent care.
