How to Safely Allow Visitors to Your Hospital in a COVID-Exposed World (Seventh of a Seven-Part Series)

How to safely allow visitors to your hospital in a COVID-exposed world (seventh of a seven-part series)

Manage your points of entry and badge every visitor to keep your hospital safe for patients and staff.

Allowing unidentified visitors is a security risk. THRESHOLD products make it easy to sign in and badge every visitor, so you know who is in your building. This makes your people and property more secure.

This series of blog posts has been the result of many years of helping hospitals like yours to sign in, badge, and track their millions of visitors to keep patients and staff more secure.

Now that there is a new danger – COVID-19 – the need to manage visitors is even greater. As things start to open up, as more patients come in to hospitals for elective procedures, and as more visitors are allowed in to see them, we must not let our guard down.

Screening and identifying visitors is more important than ever to ensure everyone’s health and safety. This series has explained why – and what you can do about it.

THRESHOLD helps keep your hospital safe for patients and staff with expiring visitor badges, cloud-based visitor software, and confidential visitor sign-in books. Founded in 1961 and based in Connecticut, our company develops and manufactures visitor management systems for single hospitals and multi-site healthcare networks all over the country and abroad.

For specific solutions to your visitor management challenges, please feel free to contact us for any reason. We are here to help. Once you decide to purchase, you will get to use your new THRESHOLD product very soon, as most orders ship within 2-3 days.

The Red Flag feature has been improved! Now you can set your system to not print a badge for any visitor record that has been previously marked with a Red Flag. The attendant will be prompted to redirect the visitor according to your security protocol.

Special New Feature: Red Flag, No Badge

Flag alertsIt’s easy and free to activate this feature. Simply call us and ask for “Red Flag, No Badge” to be turned on. Once it’s on, the above pop-up will come up when a red flagged visitor comes back. No badge will print and the attendant will need to follow the facility’s policy for handling red flagged visitors.

The flags and notes only show to the desk attendant, not the visitor. 

Please contact eVisitor Support with any questions on how to use Flags in your system.
