When a key is copied or lost, it poses an immediate security threat.

Unauthorised copies of keys are often distrubuted to an unknown number of people; hospitals can incur great costs in trying to solve the problem.

In healthcare facilities, it is essential that confidential information and expensive medical equipment are safeguarded.

Therefore, access control requirements are critical.
