Healthcare Visitor Verification

Verification helps limit visitors to their designated healthcare departments.

Healthcare facilities with multiple departments may need to restrict visitor access to ensure guests only visit the department where their patient is being treated. Using a designated tablet for verification helps confirm whether a guest is authorized for one or more departments.

Prerequisites

Verification is used at secondary checkpoints to verify Inpatient visitors. Verification will require the visitor to present their QR code to the checkpoint tablet.

A visitor must sign-in before verification. Returning visitors cannot successfully verify at secondary checkpoints without signing-in first.

Before verifying visitors, staff members should:

1

Navigate to the healthcare portal.

2

Select the secondary checkpoint where they are stationed.

3

Click the tablet button in the top right and select the desired tablet.

Verify visitors

Verification is always initiated by staff. Staff can choose to verify a visitor in 2 ways:

1

Click Verify in the top right and have a visitor present their QR code.

2

Select a visitor from the checkpoint’s visit log.

When verifying a visitor, staff members can review important visit details, including:

  • If the patient the guest is visiting is in a department that is part of the checkpoint.

  • The number of visitors who are currently signed in and have been verified to see the patient.

  • The patient’s room number.

If a visitor attempts to verify but is visiting a patient in a department outside of the secondary checkpoint, the staff member facilitating the visitor will be alerted that the visitor should be at another location. The visitor cannot be verified.
