Employee ID, parking pass, access card – ID cards in the healthcare industry are used for a wide range of tasks. But most importantly, they help keep their offices, and their patients, secure.
Why Use ID Cards in Healthcare?
Many organizations within the large healthcare industry have strict security requirements to help protect their patient’s privacy and limit access to medical equipment and drugs. This makes it essential that staff, security personnel, and patients be able to quickly and accurately identify employees.
ID cards often include the cardholder’s name, a large photo, and any access they have to restricted areas. These cards are also often used to access those same restricted areas as key cards, or to purchase food in a cafeteria. By wearing these cards prominently on their uniforms, every worker helps to improve security.

With bright colors and bold titles, a Badge Buddy lets you quickly spot doctors, nurses, and more in a busy hospital or clinic. Available in both horizontal and vertical formats, Badge Buddies are an easy way to add security to your workplace.
ID Card Accessories
Healthcare workers need to display their ID cards while working – having the right ID card accessories makes that easy.
