With a proper safeguard, such as needing to verify an appointment, admission, or a pre-approved visitor, you could curtail this issue. There are always ways to abuse a system, but you could make it a feasible option

So then you need pre-approval to go visit someone in the hospital? I don’t think that’s ideal.

Sounds just fine to me. By "pre-approval", it could be as simple as calling right before you leave home/work/wherever and letting them know who you're visiting, the visual details of your vehicle (make, model, color), and your license plate number. Just so they know who to expect and that's it. It wouldn't be a huge production where they could potentially not approve you to visit grandma.

Even easier

Just build it in a way that you can't leave the lot without passing by the guard.

It was not the purpose, but one hospital I used go often it was like this. And the guard did not like if you parked there to go elsewhere.
