Optimizing hospital security with identity management software

Need for security must be balanced with the individual's need to easily move about the hospital


In a hospital, the need for security must be balanced with the individual’s need to easily move about the facility, according to an article on the Source Security website. 

Intelligent and purpose-built software can provide a solution to address these concerns and can add depth to the hospital’s overall administrative safety and security operation, the article said.

Automated physical identity and access management (PIAM) software is gaining traction in healthcare facilities. PIAM, integrated with IT, can ensure immediate updated physical access privileges for each person.
