Practical applications for patient, staff and visitor identification
Identification in healthcare poses unique challenges. Hundreds of people move through clinics,
hospitals and urgent care facilities each day, so it's important to identify and track who is on staff
and who is just visiting. Another concern is protecting patients who are in treatment and may be
vulnerable. Yet another concern is protecting confidential medical documents stored within the
facility.

While their plates are certainly full, hospitals and clinics are making identification a priority

information, resulting in more efficient patient check-in with a card reader.

lanyard is equally important. Accessories like badge reels and breakaway lanyards make ID wear
convenient, especially if you need to scan your badge frequently or if you work in a lab.
