Prox vs. Matrix

This week I have been focusing on a specific program on the computers called Keyscan. Basically, Keyscan is a program that has to do with the Prox Badges in the hospital. The entire hospital will eventually be on a Prox badge system, so every employee will have to be put into the computer manually. I was learning how to put each person in manually, and this included downloading a picture of each person, their job title/ department, the badge ID number, full name, and access areas within the hospital. However, for every entry I made in Keyscan as I added each person- I had to print out a brand new Prox Badge with a specific code for every person. These Badges take a lot of work to create, because each one is unique to that specific person.
           Prox Badges: they are a new type of badge that does not have to be swiped. With these badges, all you have to do is wave it in front of the scanner and it will be picked up, scanned, and the access will be granted if you are allowed access to that area. Which makes moving throughout the hospital even faster, and there is less contact which means less germs being spread. Rather than the old system we used called Matrix, where you always have to swipe your badge to get in. Or constantly take the badge off your uniform because you could not reach the swiper.
