LifeMed ID to demo cutting-edge biometric facial recognition, patient matching and fraud prevention applications

Citrus Heights, Calif. – LifeMed ID, the nation’s leader in providing healthcare solutions to ensure patient safety by validating patient identity and record matching, will showcase its suite of solutions during the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference and Exhibition in Orlando, Florida on February 23-27 at Booth #6245.

“We help our customers improve patient safety, reduce fraud and eliminate duplicate records,” said David Batchelor, CEO of LifeMed ID. “Our solutions identify and validate the right patient to the right record – anytime, anywhere providing interoperability across disparate health IT systems.”

Visitors to LifeMed ID’s booth will witness cutting-edge demonstrations, showing how the use of multiple interoperable patient identity solutions, including Smart cards and state of the art biometrics, eliminate duplicate records and match identity, insurance and records across disparate Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems.

“As our country works through the adoption of health information technology to support the ramp up of nationwide health information exchanges (HIE), the issue that will rise to the top will be how to deal with accurate patient identity and record matching to eliminate duplicate records and procedures,” Batchelor said. “If we don’t address patient identification properly, we will continue to incur unnecessary and unacceptable costs – both in dollars and lives. Fortunately, LifeMed ID is perfectly positioned to offer solutions that are ready and proven to ensure patient safety, reduce fraud, eliminate duplicate records and dirty data, as well as provide efficiency and interoperability.”

Batchelor and LifeMed ID will also lead a discussion on patient identification at a day-long pre-conference at HIMSS 2014 on Feb. 23, 2014. For more details go here for an agenda and list of speakers.
