Case Study: Intermountain Healthcare strengthens security with HID Global Fargo card printers

Intermountain Healthcare uses HID ID cards to address security before problems occur

Intermountain Healthcare, a large integrated health care system, faced the challenge of enhancing physical security across its numerous facilities without creating significant inconvenience for its staff, patients, and visitors. They needed a reliable system to manage access control and identification for a wide range of personnel. To address this, they partnered with HID Global and implemented Fargo direct-to-card printers, including the DTC500 and Persona C30 models, to produce high-quality ID badges.

The solution from HID Global provided Intermountain with a streamlined process for creating secure, dual-purpose cards for access and visual identification. The Fargo printers were chosen for their double-sided printing, speed, reliability, and image clarity. The results were highly effective, enabling the organization to successfully re-badge over 30,000 employees, physicians, and other personnel within five months during a rebranding initiative. This centralized system improved security, provided ease of access for clinicians across multiple locations, and laid the foundation for future smart card technologies, proving to be a valuable long-term investment for Intermountain Healthcare.
