In the past, it was relatively easy for an intruder to walk unchallenged around a hospital, accessing areas meant only for authorized staff. In rare cases, this led to security breaches where babies were removed from pediatric wards.
Contactless smart cards are addressing this physical access problem by using encryption to offer differing levels of building access to certain staff. For example, a cardio-thoracic surgeon would require access to the operating theatre, while a registrar might need access to all the wards in the hospital.
