BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, leading security and automation provider ADT (NYSE: ADT) announced that the Company is officially declaring December 4, 2014 the first “Medical Office Managers Appreciation Day” (MOMAD) to recognize the critical role these individuals play in the daily business and safety operations of medical offices. Medical professionals can only focus on providing the best care to their patients when their office runs smoothly and safely, and MOMAD highlights the dedication of office managers across the country.

“From the reception area to the examination room, medical office managers oversee high volumes of sensitive inventory and pharmaceuticals, making security of the utmost importance. ADT is commemorating MOMAD as a tribute to the backbone of every physician, dentist and veterinarian office, and the effort these office managers take to ensure their employees and patients are secure,” said Luis Orbegoso, President of ADT Business.

Helping Medical Office Managers Protect What Matters Most

In many cases, office managers are responsible for operations and administrative activities, in addition to hiring and training employees on medical policies and protocols. ADT has solutions designed specifically for medical environments that can help managers keep the office secure and running smoothly:

• Monitored Security: Whether at the office or on vacation, have the peace of mind of knowing that the office is monitored 24/7 by trusted security professionals who contact authorities if you are unreachable.
• Access Control: Restrict access to sensitive areas of the practice, including locations with drug cabinets and vaccine refrigerators, patient file closets and data server rooms, limiting access to select employees.
• ADT Pulse® Interactive Business Solutions: Help automate and increase visibility of the office through a smartphone, tablet or any web-enabled device. Arm or disarm the alarm system, view real-time surveillance camera footage and receive triggered alerts when activity takes place in certain areas of the office.
