Points to need for healthcare-specific digital identity strategy
By now, we’re all pretty familiar with biometrics as a way to measure a person's physical characteristics to verify their identity. Most of us use biometrics daily to log in to our mobile devices via a fingerprint or face scan or to activate a home personal assistant device like Amazon Alexa or Google Home using our voice. These are popular methods of consumer biometrics.
Positive patient identification has always been the foundation of effective healthcare: the correct care needs to be delivered to the correct patient. However, the current environment in healthcare is becoming increasingly complex and has created even more new challenges when it comes to ensuring patient safety. Positive patient identification solutions that utilize biometrics like Imprivata PatientSecure support accurate care through critical 1:1 links between patients and their medical records.
