The Requirements
California’s hospital weapons screening requirements are taking shape.
Under AB 2975, covered hospitals will be required to implement weapons detection screening at designated entrances, along with screening policies, trained personnel and protocols for responding when weapons are detected.

How We Deploy
Installation is not the finish line.
The MIS Operational Integration Framework is a six-phase implementation methodology. It turns AB 2975’s requirements into a screening operation your team can run every day.
- 01
Assess
Evaluate entrances, traffic patterns, staffing, peak periods and secondary screening requirements, so the technology supports the operating requirement.
- 02
Design
Define screening locations, personnel positioning, secondary screening, prohibited item procedures and escalation.
- 03
Integrate
Put the technology and operating process into your actual environment, where small adjustments make a significant difference.
- 04
Train
Alert interpretation, secondary screening, patient and visitor interaction and escalation, with MIS working alongside your team.
- 05
Measure
Track throughput, alert rates, secondary screening, resolution time and queue development once screening begins.
- 06
Optimize
Adjust configuration, placement, staffing, procedures and training based on what is actually happening at your entrances.
3Minutes
Three minutes. That’s all it takes to set up RONIN and start detecting threats at your hospital entrances.

Deployment
Screening where it’s needed.
RONIN’s portable weapons detection system gives hospitals the flexibility to deploy screening where it’s needed, whether that’s a main entrance, emergency department, labor and delivery entrance or another area of concern.

Other Areas of Concern
Safe for people with pacemakers
And because RONIN is portable and safe for people with pacemakers, it is designed with real hospital environments in mind.

Questions to ask before you choose a system
- 01Operational fitHow will screening affect patient, visitor and employee flow during normal and peak conditions?
- 02ResponseWhat happens after a potential threat is identified, including secondary screening and escalation?
- 03PeopleWho will operate the process, how will they be trained and how will performance be maintained?
- 04IntegrationHow does screening connect to workplace violence prevention, emergency response and existing security operations?
- 05MeasurementWhat indicators will show whether the program is working and where adjustments are needed?
