Learning About Visitor Management Solutions

Hospitals and healthcare facilities are unique in many respects from other types of facilities. They have large numbers of visitors entering and exiting at all hours and guests who want to visit a patient without delays.

So on first glance one might think that hospitals are a poor choice for the use of badge software.

But the fact is that hospitals, like many other types of organizations, need to account for who is entering their facility, professionally manage the guest sign in process, and to screen for unwanted visitors.

An ID badge system that is able to accommodate a large number of visitors and not be obtrusive or cumbersome when processing visitors for entry is one primary requirement.

EasyLobby badge ID software is able to scan a visitor ID such as a driver's license and produce a professional visitor pass in 20 seconds or less per guest.

Another important requirement for hospitals is to integrate their visitor system with other hospital systems to speed the visitor sign in process.

EasyLobby visitor software is integrated with major hospital systems such as HL7 for real-time patient feeds, Status Blue for pre-registered approved vendors, and access control integration to 45 of the leading security management systems.

Many hospitals use the option of screening unwanted visitors such as each states' sex offender database. This feature will automatically alert the lobby attendants to any visitor on the database within seconds of check in at an EasyLobby visitor registration system.

Visitor badges are a visible element of visitor systems at hospitals as well as other environments. So the ability to customize these visitor passes in a hospital environment is important.

EasyLobby is able to produce a more durable visitor badge for guests who are visiting a patient frequently and over a period of time. The badge can be a laminated badge and contain a barcode that can be scanned upon the return of a guest for rapid check in without the need to provide visitor information again.

The use of customizable alerts also plays into the use of visitor management software at hospitals. EasyLobby is able to provide a number of different alerts, including a maximum visitor alert. This will notify the lobby attendant when the number of visitors to a particular patient has exceeded the defined limits.

There are many more customizable visitor registration features of an EasyLobby system for hospitals and other types of environments. To find out more, register for a free, personalized online web conference.
