Focus on hospital safety and compliance
As HID participates in HIMSS26, the emphasis is on increasing hospital safety and identity management. Findings from HID's 2026 State of Security and Identity Report reveal that employee safety and compliance are the main reasons for the adoption of RTLS, as indicated by 69% of respondents.
Meanwhile, identity management is becoming a strategic focus for security professionals worldwide. HID's healthcare solutions aim to confront these priorities by assisting hospitals in managing visitor access, safeguarding staff and patients, and maintaining regulatory compliance using their current infrastructure.
