Athena Security’s new Hospital Visitor Management System (VMS) on the Apple iPad is purpose-built to meet the critical needs of healthcare facilities with offline capabilities, ensuring that hospitals stay operational and secure amidst internet interruptions due to down servers, power outages or natural disasters.
Key features of the new Hospital Visitor Management System include:
● Always-On, Offline Mode: The system functions with or without internet, enabling check-in/check-out, badge printing, and visitor logging even during connectivity or server disruptions. Data syncs automatically once back online.
● End-to-End Security: From pre-registration to real-time watchlist screening, Athena’s VMS protects patients, staff, and visitors with client server certificates for encrypted data handling and robust access control integration. The system works in tandem with Athena’s proprietary H-Shield, a private, authenticated, and authoritative DNS platform that protects a healthcare organization’s most critical digital assets, PHI and PII information.
● Customized Workflows: User experience workflows can be customized for each healthcare department. User experiences can be tailored for different visitor types, including contractors, family members, vendors, or VIPs. Hospitals can build protocols that match their compliance needs and operational goals.
● Nationwide Predator Lists: The VMS protects against individuals listed on nationwide child predator lists and other perpetrator lists, so that hospitals are alerted upon entry, even when offline.
Athena Security’s VMS also integrates with the hospital’s AI-powered Weapon Detection System.
