Patient Visitor Management
Patient visitor management built for community hospitals.
Most visitor management systems aren’t designed for hospital lobbies. Front desk staff call units to find patients, log visitors manually, and can’t quickly distinguish screened visitors from walk-ins when errors occur.
Integration with your Electronic Health Record (EHR) — Epic, Oracle Health — enables front desk staff to quickly locate patients and check visitors in, eliminating calls, paper, and guesswork. Designed to meet modern healthcare challenges.
Find the patient. Screen the visitor. Before the lobby. Two checks run at once off
a single check-in — the EHR reads location only, never clinical records.

Workplace violence is a cost problem, not just a safety one
Workplace violence costs US hospitals $14.65 billion annually,* with eight states passing laws to address it. Every unscreened visitor creates a gap security, compliance, and clinical leaders must explain later.
A safer lobby also helps with retention. RN turnover costs about $289,000 per percentage point, and a safer workplace is a key factor in reducing that number.
What You Get
How it Works
EHR Integration as the Front Desk’s Source of Truth
Your EHR becomes the source that reception uses to confirm a patient’s location.
Integration with Epic and Oracle Health/Cerner uses FHIR of HL7 v2. When visitors arrive, front desk or kiosks access the patient’s current location directly from the EHR—no calls to the nursing station or separate lookup needed.
The integration reads location data to route visitors correctly. It doesn’t touch clinical documentation, and it doesn’t change how your clinical teams work in the EHS.
Watchlist Screening and Auditable Visitor Records
Every check-in is automatically screened and logged.
Visitors are checked against internal and external watchlists at check-in, and every visit is time-stamped and stored for audit. When a regulator or the Joint Commission requests a “who was where” report, it’s already available and not reconstructed from paper logs afterward.
Compliance rules can be configured per hospital, allowing easy policy variation by state without separate systems.
