- Meet standards. By law, hospitals are required to know who is entering and exiting their facility.
- Prevent the spread of the seasonal flu. Badges can allow hospitals to know at a glance who has had their flu shot and who should be wearing a mask.
- Improve identification. Visitors often wear scrubs; badges allow for the differentiation between visitors in scrubs and staff in scrubs.
- Increase security confidence. Badges allow hospitals to feel comfortable with who is in the facility and their qualifications, background and who they represent.
- Better infection and outbreak control. If there is an outbreak of an illness that involves a hospital, having all visitors on a badge list makes it easy to check their immunity and get back in touch if necessary.
- Control access. Access can be revoked for those who do not have business in facility.
