omniQ: Transforming Hospital Parking Flow with Real-Time LPR

If you work in hospital operations, you know parking issues aren’t just about where people park.
They’re about how the entire hospital runs.

When staff are late because they can’t find a spot, it’s not just a minor delay, it’s patient care getting pushed back. When visitors circle the lot, frustrated, it’s not just an inconvenience, it’s stress on families already going through hard moments. When enforcement is inconsistent, it’s not just a parking violation, it’s tension between departments, staff, and the community you serve.

Parking touches everything.

And when it’s not working, everyone feels it. One large medical center knew this firsthand.

Their parking system relied heavily on manual processes:

• Permits were validated by hand
• Enforcement depended on whoever was available
• Real-time data about who was parking where did not exist.

Every day, small parking problems stacked up into larger operational headaches for staff, patients, and leadership. Instead of continuing to react to issues, the hospital made a shift. They invested in automation where it mattered most. Without tearing down garages or adding more enforcement staff, they changed the foundation:

• License plate recognition to automate entry and permitting
• Live data tracking to monitor availability and unauthorized vehicles
• Smarter enforcement based on real vehicle history, not guesswork

The Transformation Was Immediate

• Unauthorized parking dropped by 30%
• Entry delays during peak hours shrank by 75%
• Permit and citation revenue grew by 10–15% annually

Hand with a chart on it going up. But numbers only tell part of the story. What mattered most was the shift in daily life:

• Staff focused on patient care instead of parking complaints
• Families spent less time looking for spaces and more time with loved ones
• Operations teams could finally plan, not just react

Parking became invisible again, in the best possible way.

If you’re facing daily parking challenges that create bigger operational problems, you’re not alone. But there’s a smarter, proven way forward. Click here to read the full case study.
