01The problem
At visiting time a ward fills with people. Some come for a patient, some for a quiet look around, and staff cannot tell which is which. A visitor routine at reception, a pass with a time and a ward on it, and controlled ward doors outside visiting hours keep numbers down and let staff concentrate on patients.
