Novel security clearance delivery assistance system for healthcare providers working in hospitals nationwide that improves patient care by reducing or eliminating the amount of time needlessly wasted by manually presenting security clearance smart cards to the security reader for authentication while transporting patients across hospitals. In life or death situations, which occur routinely in hospitals, quick delivery of patients to destinations such as the operating room could mean life or death. A health care professional's ability to save lives may depend in part on their ability to quickly transport patients through secured areas, which currently require the transporter to stop and authenticate at each doorway. With the likelihood of survival decreasing exponentially as time passes, reducing or eliminating interruptions during transportation will enable healthcare providers more time to perform life saving procedures and dramatically increase the likelihood of survival.
