Medibase’s Patient Identification
Solution, BASEmetric
Security in the medical field is paramount to a
successful practice. Many
regulations exist to maintain a high level of safety and security in health
care facilities. Unfortunately,
a substantial amount of practices find that they cannot expend the resources
to meet these regulations, and a surprising number may not even try.
Medibase is an
industry leader in providing affordable and comprehensive solutions to
address these regulation issues. Their
wide suite of products includes health care management, revenue, and
comprehensive MPI
solutions. These MPI
solutions consist of a range of products designed to ensure the highest
level of patient safety through accurate and reliable identification
methods.
Identifying patients is a major concern in the
healthcare industry. Issuing ID
cards or passwords is not a completely reliable way of securing confidential
information. Medibase has taken
strides to alleviate these concerns by integrating M2SYS’ innovative
biometric identification software, Bio-Plugin™
into its BASEmetric™ biometric technology software.
Bio-Plugin™ enables
software companies to immediately integrate a complete and seamless
fingerprint recognition system, including a high-performance 1:N
identification engine. Bio-Plugin™ eliminates the extensive development
and specialized knowledge of biometric complexities inherent to fingerprint
technology SDKs.
The BASEmetric™ fingerprint identification technology
with Bio-Plugin™ integration is able to accurately identify patients by a
simple scan of their finger through a fingerprint reader.
The software can rapidly scan huge databases to identify prior
patients, returning results in mere seconds.
When a returning patient is identified by the fingerprint reader,
their medical history information is displayed and can be updated and
edited. New patients can be enrolled in the system swiftly and easily.
Fingerprint signatures are the most secure way to
identify a patient. Unlike
identification cards or passwords, biometric identity can not be lost or
stolen. Only the patient has
access to their unique fingerprint. M2SYS’
standout technology ensures that the patient’s fingerprints are stored as
a series of numbers and that an actual fingerprint image is never stored.
Due to this unique algorithm, patient confidentiality is completely
protected, and new health care regulations that have been difficult for some
practices to meet in the past can now be met affordably and efficiently.
The BASEmetric™ biometric solution is
now available to Medibase's expanding customer base of more than 500
hospitals, health systems, and integrated delivery networks throughout the
United States
. The BASEmetric(TM) fingerprint
system has proven to be highly scalable, fast, and accurate, enabling even
larger hospitals and healthcare networks to adopt it without jeopardizing
their performance rate.
With constant innovation
always at the forefront, M2SYS and Medibase have partnered to bolster an
ongoing commitment to the improved security of vital information and to the
provision of the highest level of care for patients.
