Options for Creating Hospital ID cards

This weeks post we are going to discuss in more detail a subject many have sent us messages requestion more information about. Hospital security is one of the main things we find our readers have questions about. Today we are going to focus on one form of hospital security that of staff id cards for your hospital staff.

There is a few different options when it comes to purchasing these for your hospital. Some hospitals prefer a DIY or do it yourself solution others rather pay a specialised company to create these for them so they don’t worry about the quality or safety. The second option is my personal favourite option but I will go into detail of both methods.

So one option is to simply print ID cards for your staff. This can be done by purchasing a staff ID card printer. This is a option for some that like to be able to print there own cards. There is various printers that can print to a high quality that looks professional and clear for all. This means your on going costs are just literally the cost of the cards and ribbons of the printers. However the down side of this option is that there is not the same security features you can have by working with a specialized ID card printing company. Some of the security features involved in printing your own ID cards are that you can add UV ink to the cards to confirm the are genuine.

Your second option is to work with a specialised company that can create these cards for you providing you with the complete product. This is my most favoured option as they can help you to provide you with a solution that will not only give you a ID card but also sync with your access control system to ensure there is a floor less system in your hospital. Though this can be a bit more expensive it is a worthy investment for your hospital. These cards can be highly customised with branding and many etc security features.
