Healthcare Construction Jobsite Management
Healthcare project owners are demanding more security, safety and project data. Digital check-in meets owner needs affordably and is easy to implement.
Healthcare construction managers today must manage both budget and labor shortfalls. Staff shortages cannot be allowed to risk patient safety. Screening arriving construction workers along with patients, students, staff, and subcontractors and visitors is essential for health, safety, and security.
Healthcare construction and facility managers are now adopting digital jobsite management technology like Safe Site Check In. QR codes plus smartphones means the end of screening by a receptionist. Also means the end of paper record keeping, transcription and filing.
Now, every type of construction worker or visitor can be screened, onboarded and directed to their proper location and Superintendent. Regular workers can receive digital badges for fast repeat check in.
Converting healthcare construction jobsite management to digital lets facilities elevate safety and compliance while simultaneously reducing overhead and administration costs. Healthcare construction project owners can now know who is or was onsite, now or in the past, how they were safety screened, and whether projects are on schedule. And if a health, security or other kind of incident occurs, such data is essential for resolving the situation fast.
Benefits of a Digital Construction Jobsite Management System for Healthcare Facilities
Healthcare like so many industries is experiencing a generational shortage of labor. The Covid pandemic, early retirements, inadequate recruitment, skills training and immigration restrictions have all constrained labor supply.
Workforce development can take years, and immigration reform perhaps never. But automation via technology can happen today.
Automating routine tasks that can be easily performed self-service using mobile consumer technology makes total business sense. Skilled resources should only be employed for higher value tasks. And digital automation creates new data sources that can be used to run a better business.
Healthcare providers have a unique set of challenges. Access to certain areas will be limited by visitor type. Some areas are only for patients or staff, or maybe close family members. Some areas are only for staff. Others for contractors, visitors and vendors.
According to the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety, patients are exposed to a number of risks. Contagious diseases are an obvious example, but the elderly and high risk patients are also susceptible to threats from trespassers or unwanted visitors.
A facility’s visitor receptionist process can be challenging, especially when customer service means managing family visitation privileges and preferences. Reception is even more complicated while construction is going on.
Automating receptionist recordkeeping duties is only one benefit. With Safe Site Check In automation, most healthcare construction jobsite management reception functions – patients go here, staff there, visitors elsewhere, worker access and screening – can now be automated.
Regular visitors and vendors experience less wait time. Everyone’s satisfaction and productivity improves.
Because Safe Site Check In is digital, arrival and attendance data is immediately permanently stored in the cloud, encrypted and secured. Daily logs go online, eliminating paper, data entry and filing, saving not only labor costs, but physical space costs as well.
And with our new onboarding and QR badging, workers and frequent visitors can check-in faster and easier than ever.

Healthcare Construction Jobsite Management Reduces Risks and Saves Money
All healthcare facilities strive to provide a safe, secure, and productive environment for patients, students, family, staff, caregivers and employees. It’s essential to their brand integrity and reputation.
These are some of the ways Safe Site Check In can streamline healthcare jobsite operations:
- Customer Service – Family, staff, caregivers, contractors and professionals experience less waiting.
- Visibility – Staff now has a real-time view of all arrivals and their identity and reason for visiting.
- Security – Maintain the confidentiality of all construction worker, staff and visitor records and protect from unwanted guests.
- Safety – Ensure that each visitor gets the necessary safety screening and training.
- Productivity – Shift your front desk workload to higher value tasks and limit interruptions to only those needing immediate help.
Safe Site Check In – How it Works
Workers and visitors check in by scanning a facility-specific QR code poster using any smartphone. There is also a Kiosk (tablet) mode version for visitors without a smart phone. Once scanned, first time arrivals identify themselves by name, email and phone number. Repeat workers can be onboarded, trained and provided a QR badge for easy, fast repeat check in. Badges can exist just on a phone, or printed with photos & other data.
New and repeat arrivals answer the questions you customize for your facility’s specific needs. Selected responses result in supervisor alerts (e.g., possible disease exposure, or a subcontractor or delivery arrival). First time visitors can be presented with a liability waiver or safety training video. A successful check in results in a unique green QR confirmation code.
Healthcare construction jobsite management can also alert workers to jobsite conditions important for their safety, such as weather conditions, new seasonal disease protocols like the flu, construction risks such as open walls or floors, or reminders about using personal protection equipment (PPE).
Questions and answers are permanently cloud stored for compliance reporting or claims handling. GPS verification makes sure everyone is checking in at the physical location where they should be.
Workers can also create their own password protected Profile containing data critical for managing your workforce. Profiles contain their certifications, licenses, work permits, training data, vaccination status. And safety data sheets are accessible by anyone onsite from within the app.
The Safe Site Check In webapp is available in English and Spanish. There are no downloads, installs or IT services necessary. Works with any device or browser.
