With multiple hospital sites, thousands of medical staff and numerous employees, healthcare organisations have a strong need for access control, information management and facility management systems. Within the last decade, a heightened awareness of patient privacy, medical records (HIPAA in the US) and controlled access has necessitated a complete re-evaluation of facility management.

Health care industry leaders turn to HID to enhance facility security by controlling access to secure areas like nurseries, pharmacies and medical supply areas.

In addition, with HID’s OMNIKEY® reader line, hospital IT security issues can be addressed and efficient PC log-on applications can be implemented. HID’s OMNIKEY® 2061 Bluetooth® reader is a portable authentication device for individual log-on to personal computers. It is ideal for organisations where frequent but intermittent use of personal computers is practised, and where a high value of information privacy is maintained.

Basic magnetic stripe cards that were used for time & attendance are now being upgraded to multiple application smart cards. This provides facilities with secure access control, IT logon, cafeteria POS and other applications from a single card. By utilising the numerous HID third-party application providers, facilities are able to use HID cards for diverse identity-driven applications.

World leaders in medical technology see the forward-thinking value in implementing innovative technologies and solutions to improve patient care and enhance operational efficiency. As technology-focused businesses, leaders in healthcare are drawn to HID solutions. With the ability to integrate the security system into a customer's IT network and HR system, HID solutions enable administrative simplification of a facility's HR process.

With HID technology in place, healthcare providers can maintain their dedication and pledge to serving people.
