Set up a Guest Tablet for Healthcare

Set up a powerful hospital visitor management kiosk with ease

Guest features a tablet configuration specific to healthcare visitor management. In this configuration, a hospital may use a tablet to sign in inpatient visitors, sign in outpatient visitors, and verify visitors at restricted units.

Download the Guest app

1

Download the Verkada Guest app on an iPad running iOS 14 or newer.

2

Once installed, the Guest app displays a 6-character code. Save this code to add the tablet to Verkada Command.

Add a Guest tablet for Healthcare

1

In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Workplace > Guest.

2

Select Guest Settings. Navigate to a site with Healthcare Enabled and scroll to Tablets.

3

Click Add Tablet.

4

Enter the 6-character code from the tablet and click Add this iPad.

Configure tablet for Healthcare

1

Navigate to Guest Settings > Sites > Tablets, and select the desired tablet.

2

Under Tablet Settings, select Healthcare.

Select a camera

Hospitals can use either the front or rear iPad camera to scan visitors’ photo IDs.

1

Navigate to Guest Settings > Sites > Tablets, and select the desired tablet.

2

Select the drop-down menu for Photo ID Scan and choose the desired camera.

Select secondary checkpoint

To use a healthcare tablet to verify visitors of a restricted unit, the tablet must be assigned to a secondary checkpoint.

1

Navigate to Guest Settings > Sites > Tablets, and select the desired tablet.

2

Select the drop-down menu for Checkpoint and choose the desired checkpoint.

Selecting the primary checkpoint with the same name as the Guest Site will ensure the tablet is dedicated to sign-in alone. Tablets assigned to the primary checkpoint are typically used for sign-in at the entrance of a hospital.
