Who is who in a hospital corridor? Cards and badges make it clear. Here is how to set them up.
Key takeaways
- Photo staff cards
- Visitor badges
- Linked to doors
- A record of visits
01The problem
In a busy hospital anyone in a white coat is assumed to belong. Staff cards with a photo, and visitor badges issued at reception, make it easy for a nurse to see who should be where. Linked to door readers, they also control which doors each card opens.
02How it works
03What to check before you buy
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Card printing | Photo and name |
| Visitor routine | Issue, wear, return |
| Door links | Which card opens which door |
| Lost cards | Cancel quickly |
| Maintenance | A plan, spares and a response time agreed before you buy |
| Your own requirements | Confirm them with your regulator and advisers |

06How to put it to the hospital
Start with the problem a hospital already has, in the words your reader would use, then show what changes. Quote the full scope for a hospital, including cabling, power, installation, training and maintenance, and say plainly what the system does and does not do.
