HID Global: Physical Identity Challenges in the Healthcare Industry

HID Global

Physical identity plays a crucial role in security. Through biometric authentication technology like facial recognition and iris reading to fingerprint reading, physical identity is used to verify who a person is. 

The use of physical identity is becoming more and more prevalent in public places, particularly in healthcare where patient safety and security is paramount. 

In this episode of the EM60 Podcast, Analyst Dr. Eric Cole speaks to Clete Bordeaux, Director of Healthcare Business Development at HID Global and Michael Ramstack, System Senior Director of Security from Essentia Health, about:

  • Security challenges in the healthcare industry
  • Physical identity priorities
  • Why visitor management works best as part of a multi-pronged approach
