Healthcare Security & Safety Week | October 11–17, 2026
Every day, healthcare security professionals are entrusted with an enormous responsibility: helping create an environment where patients can receive care, healthcare professionals can do their jobs, and families and visitors can feel welcome—while maintaining the security of the facility and the people inside it.
During Healthcare Security & Safety Week, STOPware is proud to recognize these professionals and the important work they do.
Healthcare Security Starts at the Front Door
Hospitals and healthcare facilities present a unique security challenge. Unlike many other secure environments, healthcare organizations must remain accessible and welcoming while managing a continuous flow of patients, family members, contractors, vendors and other visitors.
The entrance is one of the first opportunities to establish visibility and accountability.
An effective visitor management process can help healthcare organizations identify who is entering a facility, understand the purpose of a visit, issue identifiable visitor credentials, maintain visitor activity records and support established screening and security procedures.
Just as importantly, these processes need to work efficiently. Security cannot come at the expense of creating unnecessary delays or complicated experiences for patients and their families.
Technology Supporting the People Behind Healthcare Security
Technology alone doesn't create a secure healthcare environment. The professionals implementing security policies and responding to situations are what make those programs work.
The right technology can help give those teams better information and more effective tools.
For more than 20 years, STOPware's PassagePoint Visitor Management solutions have helped organizations manage the visitor experience from arrival through departure.
Today, PassagePoint solutions can support healthcare organizations with capabilities including visitor registration, badge printing, visitor screening workflows, pre-registration, reporting and audit history, and options for both staffed and self-service visitor check-in.
With PassagePoint Global and the browser-based PassagePoint Flex product family, STOPware continues to evolve our technology to meet the changing needs of healthcare and other security-conscious environments.
