If your healthcare organization is considering an investment in location technology for tracking at-risk patients, improving staff safety, tracking valuable assets, or streamlining clinical workflows, SecurTRAK offers a proven platform that outperforms alternatives built on Wi-Fi, BLE, or single-frequency approaches.

With SecurTRAK’s patented triple-technology approach, MGM Solutions has consistently outperformed location systems based on other technologies while offering the flexibility to add new use cases over time on a single infrastructure.

One Infrastructure, Unlimited Use Cases

SecurTRAK is not a single-purpose system. It’s a platform that supports numerous applications simultaneously, all running on the same infrastructure of 433 MHz RF receivers, 125 KHz LF exciters, and IR readers:

Life-Safety Applications

• Patient elopement & wander prevention — real-time tracking of at-risk patients with automated door locks, elevator controls, and instant staff alerts
• Wireless staff duress (PanicALERT) — one-button panic alerts that instantly display the staff member’s precise location on AutoCAD floor plans
• Infant abduction prevention — tags that trigger immediate lockdown if an infant approaches an exit
• Man-down detection — automatic alerts for correctional officers and lone workers

Operational Efficiency Applications

• Patient flow optimization — real-time visibility into patient movement, wait times, and department throughput
• Automated clinical rounding — objective documentation of rounding compliance without manual logging
• Asset tracking (AsseTRAK) — locate any tagged device in seconds across millions of square feet
• Hand hygiene compliance monitoring — automated tracking of hand wash/sanitize events at point of care

Environmental Monitoring

• Temperature monitoring — continuous monitoring of refrigerators, freezers, and medication storage
• Humidity monitoring — automated compliance with Joint Commission and pharmacy requirements

What Sets SecurTRAK Apart

SecurTRAK incorporates patented Intelligent Boundary Recognition — intelligent geo-fences that work both indoors and outdoors, with the ability to highlight specific rooms or areas based on search criteria. This is fundamentally different from the zone-based approach used by Wi-Fi and BLE systems.

Proven Across 40+ Federal Deployments

SecurTRAK isn’t theoretical. It’s deployed and operational across more than 40 federal facilities, with documented results including $1.63 million in annual savings at a single VA facility through reduced sitter costs alone. The platform has been refined through three decades of real-world deployments in the most demanding healthcare and correctional environments.
