The physics of healthcare access control

The Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia recently rebranded to the Albert Einstein Healthcare Network - which meant implementing a new access control system with new cards and ID badges.
The first major challenge for AEHN security, led by Russell Jones, network director for protective services at the organization, was replacing the employees, doctors, volunteers and other medical staff's badges with ID cards featuring the network's new logo. And while developing a re-badging production strategy, Jones decided to leverage the project to upgrade their entire access control system as well.
