At the International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety (IAHSS) Annual Conference & Exhibition, HID is set to display its comprehensive security solutions tailored for the healthcare sector at booth #46.
Emphasising a multi-layered security strategy, HID aims to assist healthcare organisations in safeguarding patients, staff and visitors, while also streamlining fragmented access systems in a cost-effective manner without disrupting daily operations.
Integrating security beyond single solutions
Hospitals present complex environments where various groups such as staff, patients, visitors, and vendors require specific access levels. Simultaneously, protection of health information, medications, medical devices, and sensitive areas is crucial.
HID’s cloud-based Visitor Manager integrates with EHRs to enhance visitor control and safetyHID stresses that no single product can fulfil all these needs. Instead, their approach to modernising access control involves harmonising physical access control, visitor management, staff authentication, and real-time location awareness into a singular, cohesive system.
One of HID's notable innovations is the HID Visitor Manager for Healthcare, a cloud-based solution that integrates seamlessly with major Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems like Epic and Oracle Health. This facilitates enhanced visitor control across hospital facilities, ensuring a safer environment for both patients and staff.
Showcasing advanced security capabilities
During the event, HID will spotlight four interconnected capabilities:
- Enhancing Visitor Access Control: Understanding who is present in the facility and ensuring they have legitimate reasons for being there is critical for compliance and safety. The HID Visitor Manager for Healthcare offers a modern, adaptable check-in process, featuring EHR integration, photo capture, ID scanning, and compliance-ready reporting for standards such as OSHA, CMS, and HIPAA.
- Streamlining Staff Credential Management: With HID Mobile Access, remote issuance, updates, and revocation of credentials reduce the need for in-person card management. This system offers clinical and operational teams a convenient, secure method to navigate facilities using smartphones and wearables.
- Real-Time Tracking in Healthcare: As worker safety and compliance drive RTLS adoption, HID offers the Healthcare Real-Time Location Systems platform, granting clinical teams immediate visibility over staff, patients, and assets. This system spans applications such as staff safety, infant security, asset tracking, and hand hygiene compliance.
- Consolidating Security Infrastructure: HID Signo readers support diverse credential technologies, ranging from cards to mobile devices, with integrated multi-layered security. This approach ensures seamless integration across HID's access control ecosystem, preventing security gaps.
With years of expertise and a dedicated team, HID continues to guide hospitals and health systems in evolving their security infrastructure, ensuring robust and efficient measures are in place at every step of their modernisation journey.
HID, a worldwide pioneer in trusted identity solutions, will exhibit at the International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety (IAHSS) Annual Conference & Exhibition (booth #46), demonstrating how a layered approach to security helps healthcare organisations protect patients, staff and visitors while modernising fragmented access infrastructure in a phased, affordable and low-risk way that doesn't disrupt daily operations.
Healthcare has layers. So should its security
Hospitals bring together staff, patients, visitors and vendors, each requiring specific levels of access, while simultaneously protecting health information, medications, medical devices and sensitive operational areas on a 24/7/365 basis. No single product solves that. HID's approach to modernising access control for healthcare is where physical access control, visitor management, staff authentication and real-time location awareness operate as a unified system rather than disconnected point solutions.
Most recently, HID introduced HID Visitor Manager for Healthcare, a cloud-based solution that integrates directly with Epic, Oracle Health and other major Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems to strengthen visitor control across hospital facilities.
At IAHSS, HID will showcase four interconnected capabilities that address this approach:
- Securing visitor access: Knowing who is in your facility, where they are and whether they should be there is both a compliance requirement and a patient and staff safety imperative. HID Visitor Manager for Healthcare delivers a modern, configurable check-in process with direct EHR integration, photo capture, ID scanning, watchlist management and audit-ready compliance reporting for OSHA, CMS and HIPAA requirements — all with minimal IT involvement.
- Giving staff back time lost to credential management: Remote issuance, updates and revocation eliminate the need for in-person card management, reducing administrative burden while giving clinical and operational teams a more convenient, secure way to move through the facility. HID Mobile Access delivers this capability through smartphones and wearables already in staff pockets.
- Knowing where people and assets are when it matters most: Worker safety and compliance now drive 69% of RTLS adoption decisions, according to HID's 2026 State of Security and Identity Report. The HID Healthcare Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) platform gives clinical teams instant visibility into the location of staff, patients and assets. From staff safety and infant security to asset tracking, hand hygiene compliance and clinical workflow, it addresses the full range of location-aware needs in a hospital environment.
- Unifying the infrastructure that makes all of it work: Fragmented entry points, mixed credential types and siloed systems are where security gaps form. HID Signo readers support an unparalleled range of credential technologies across cards, fobs and mobile devices, with multi-layered security built in and seamless integration across HID's broader access control ecosystem.
HID brings decades of experience and a dedicated team of healthcare security specialists to support hospitals and health systems at every stage of their security modernisation journey.
