Patient Identity Authentication
Reduce Bad Debt. Deter Fraud. Promote Safer Care.
A patient’s identity is one of the most critical data points in their medical record. Patient safety depends on it and so does hospital cash flow. Sadly, medical identity theft puts both at risk. With identity theft now one of the fastest growing types of fraud, it’s critical that hospitals have a way to help confirm a patient’s identity at admission. This, coupled with a policy to enforce a patient to present a government ID, will reap great benefits for hospital, patient, payer and community.In addition our stand-alone Patient Identity Authentication Solution enhances accuracy of demographic data by electronically capturing the data from a government-issued ID. Drawing on multiple sources of data, the solution validates identity and current address. Once identity is confirmed, patient demographics can be automatically sent to the ADT system.
