BIO-Key International, a company which specializes in advanced fingerprint solutions, announced that its healthcare technology partners will present its new initiative to implement fingerprint authentication for patient identification at the HIMSS 2014 conference in Orlando, Fla. The company\u2019s partners include Allscripts, Caradigm, Epic, HealthCast Solutions and Key Source International.<\/p>\n

There are pros and cons to this new way to collect, store and receive information. The pros include convenience, fast access and easy to use features. This system is convenient because physicians, nurses, physician assistants and secretaries don\u2019t need to worry about files taking up space or paying a set amount each time they need a patient\u2019s file. Additionally, the patient files can be accessed a lot faster by fingerprint identification compared to storing the files and having to wait for someone to find them. The process of obtaining patient files that are tucked away within thousands of other files in a storage facility can take days or even weeks. If the clinic or hospital uses Electronic Health Records (EHRs), passwords can become tedious and the technology needed is expensive. The use of BIO-Key\u2019s fingerprint identification is more cost efficient and doesn\u2019t require passwords, but is still completely secure. Doctors are required to keep their patients\u2019 files for ten years so the option of obtaining EHRs with just a swipe of the patient\u2019s fingertips is attractive. And not only is it fast, it\u2019s extremely easy to do.<\/p>\n

There are cons though. Although unlikely, in the case that there is a security issue and someone\u2019s information is hacked into, fingerprints can\u2019t be changed. Fingerprint technology is difficult to copy but unlike PINs or passwords, if there is a case of fraud fingerprints can\u2019t be changed to protect the person\u2019s security. The use of fingerprint authentication for hospitals and clinics would have to be under tight security to ensure protection against fraud.<\/p>\n

As for the demonstrations at HIMSS 2014, these will include live enrollment from attendees who want to experience the technology in real time. AllScripts TouchWorks, Sunrise Clinical Manager and Professional EHR will be present at the booth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
