Take an Epic approach to Visitor Management.
When compassionate care is the goal, safety must come first—but compliance won’t be taking a backseat either. Make them go together when you digitally transform IT and physical access for patients, employees and visitors. We can help you create a smoother, more secure experience for everyone with the systems you already have in place.
Meet VIM from Alert Enterprise.
Alert Enterprise Visitor Identity Management (VIM) automates and streamlines visitor registration, identification and access control. Upon secure visitor check-in, the host is instantly notified with the visitor’s details and security has all the right data to stay in the know. Less hoops to jump through, more loops that close.
It’s certified.
HL7-certified, VIM software integrates with EPIC and automates the entire visitor identity lifecycle— including pre-registration, check in and the overall on-site experience.
It’s safety-first.
Ensure staff, patients and visitors experience the highest level of safety by automate the vetting of visitors against internal and third-party watch lists. You can also configure alerts and workflows based on visitor status.
It’s flexible.
From mobile to kiosk, there are plenty of ways to let them in—simply and securely.
How would VIM blend in at your healthcare facility?
We like to keep it simple. Here’s how it works:
First, here’s what VIM does:
- Syncs new patient records once they’re created in EPIC via HL7 message
- Pulls relevant patient data like name, department and MRN unique identifier
- Creates a visitor profile associated with the appropriate patient
- Pushes HL7 messages for discharge and updates within the EPIC HL7 interface
Second, here’s what everyone else does:
- Staff issue visitor stickers, technology badges or advanced mobile credentials based on the visitor profile
- Visitors can check in and out using their mobile device, lobby work station software or a self-service kiosk
