With hospitals focusing more on the patient and visitor experience, visitor management solutions are being adopted to enhance the overall check in process and keep staff and patients safe. Hospitals and healthcare facilities want to be able to pre-schedule visitors, check in walk-up guests, screen visitors against watch lists— including criminal background and ex-employees— notify staff of arriving visitors, and print badges that make visitors easily identifiable. With the wealth of data and reporting options available to hospitals, it can be difficult to know how to plan for and implement new technology, so we’ve put together a list of seven best practices your hospital can use to get your visitor management system up and running optimally.

Our cloud-based visitor management software, BreezN, is backed by our global military security heritage, hosted on the Microsoft Azure Cloud which offers SOC 1, 2, and 3 reports. We're trusted by enterprise companies like Johnson & Johnson, Liberty Mutual, and NASA to help increase security for their staff, facility, and data, while also improving workflows. iPad check-in is quick, user intuitive, features ID scanning, photo badge printing, and helps with compliance needs like HIPAA and ITAR. We offer a visitor management system that improves workflows, enhances your brand's image, and increases security for your staff, facility, and data. Veristream’s solution automates the visitor management process for Fortune 500 companies, hospitals and healthcare facilities, multi-tenant buildings, as well as educational and corporate campuses. Our background in security translates to a safer environment for employees and guests. Manually signing a log book to check-in to a company does not present the image many companies are seeking. Our BreezN solution provides the most efficient and modern visitor experience by using an automated check-in process to capture images, send instant visitor notifications, print custom badges and collect signatures. Veristream improves the visitor’s perception of a company by saving them time through automated efficiencies.
