Biometrics is defined as the use of automated methods to recognize a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. Biometric technologies are becoming the foundation of an extensive array of highly secure identification and personal verification solutions. Several examples of biometric technologies include fingerprint, face, retinal, and iris recognition, as well as hand geometry.

At Versos through partnering with leading Technology vendors we combined Advanced Biometric identification technology for patients and staff existing Electronic Medical Record System or Hospital Information System to create a Master Patient Index system that emphasize accurate staff and patient identification.

The use of biometrics is rapidly becoming the de-facto means of person authentication in our commercial marketplace because there is no other method more safe, secure, affordable, or efficient. In the healthcare industry, biometrics is replacing costly, inefficient, and jeopardous ID card PIN, or password systems, and the facilities embracing it are realizing immediate benefits:

• Employee and patient identity is established with irrefutable proof and correctness
• Health care professionals are held more accountable for their actions
• Significant realized cost savings in the administration and reproduction of ID cards or PINs
• Ease-of-use saves time that can be redirected to improve patient care
• People can never forget or share their fingerprints
