The new cloud-based visitor management solution is designed to enhance security measures within hospitals and healthcare facilities.

This solution aims to provide a streamlined, configurable check-in experience while connecting directly with electronic health record (EHR) systems such as Epic and Oracle Health.

Enhanced Visitor Management System

HID’s Visitor Manager for Healthcare stands out by offering an innovative approach compared to traditional visitor management solutions. The system’s integration with major EHR platforms allows healthcare staff to accurately link visitors to patients, including room location data. This is achieved while minimizing the need for IT resources during deployment, building on HID's extensive experience in healthcare security.

The solution comes equipped with features like photo capture, ID scanning, watchlist management, and access to a vast range of pre-built reports. It also supports diverse visitor types and enables both pre-registration and walk-in check-ins, thus catering to multi-location healthcare facilities.

Additionally, it offers audit-ready logs and analytics, aiding compliance with standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), HIPAA, and specific state laws around workplace violence prevention.
