AUSTIN, Texas – Global identity solutions provider HID is introducing HID Visitor Manager for Healthcare, a cloud-based visitor management solution that “strengthens security for facilities, staff and patients while reducing friction,” at the HIMSS26 Global Health Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas (booth #2279).
HID Visitor Manager for Healthcare “delivers a modern, configurable check-in process,” according to the company announcement, which notes that it “integrates directly with electronic health record (EHR) systems, including Epic and Oracle Health, enabling staff to link visitors to specific patients with room location data.”
“Drawing on decades of HID’s experience in healthcare security, the solution is designed for hospitals and health systems, with a deployment model that requires minimal IT involvement,” the HID announcement says.
What Can HID Visitor Management for Healthcare Do?
Key capabilities of HID Visitor Manager for Healthcare include:
• Integration with Epic, Oracle Health and other major EHR systems
• Photo capture, ID scanning, watchlist management and hundreds of out-of-the-box reports
• Support for multiple locations, different visit types (patients, professionals, vendors) and registration styles via pre-registrations and walk-ins
• Audit-ready logs and analytics to support compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), CMS and HIPAA, as well as state-specific workplace violence prevention laws
Comprehensive Identity Security Across the Care Continuum
Beyond visitor management, HID is also showcasing the full depth of its healthcare identity ecosystem at HIMSS 2026. The HID Healthcare Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) platform, designed specifically for clinical environments, enables instant coordination of staff, patients and assets.
Use cases include asset management, staff safety, infant security, wander management, wayfinding, hand hygiene, environmental monitoring and clinical workflow. HID’s RTLS experts will be available at the event to support hospitals in evaluating RTLS solutions that improve patient safety and workflow efficiency.
HID will also highlight Janam’s mobile computers and RFID readers, designed to withstand clinical environments while enabling accurate, real-time data capture and credential validation across patient care, pharmacy operations and asset tracking workflows.
HID arrives at HIMSS26 at a time of growing urgency around hospital safety and identity management. According to HID’s 2026 State of Security and Identity Report, worker safety and compliance are now the primary drivers of RTLS adoption (cited by 69% of respondents), while identity management has emerged as the top strategic priority for security professionals globally.
The company’s healthcare offerings address these priorities by helping hospitals manage visitor access, protect staff and patients, and support regulatory compliance within their existing infrastructure.
