At IAHSS, HID demonstrates why trust is the foundation of healthcare security

HID, a worldwide leader 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 organizations protect patients, staff and visitors while modernizing 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 modernizing 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 modernization journey.
