DESCRIPTION
Healthcare biometrics applications are increasingly becoming a part of the industry's architecture. As more and more facilities evaluate the benefits of using a biometric patient identification system to eliminate duplicate records, increase patient safety, lower hospital liability and stop medical identity fraud, it's important to understand the difference between 1:1 verification, 1:Few segmentation and 1:N identification searches. This presentation explains the differences between these search types in a biometric patient identification system, why 1:1 and 1:Few searches can't prevent duplicate medical records or medical identity fraud and why 1:N searches are the optimal searches for healthcare biometrics.TRANSCRIPT

Duplicate patient records can have negative impacts on patient safety.

Studies have shown that:• Avg. hospital duplicate rate is 5-10%• Hidden cost of duplicates = $50• 5 dupes/day = $78,000/year (based
on 6 day week)

Using consultants or software to de-dupe medical records is
EXPENSIVE and TIME CONSUMING

One hospital spent $729,000 in consulting fees to merge their
duplicate medical records. Out of 65,000 potential dupes, only 22,000
were merged.

Biometric technology can prevent duplicate patient records ONLY IF
the system performs a true One-To-Many (1:N) comparison

One-to-One (1:1) Verification
Here’s who I am There’s my biometric template
Let’s confirm to make sure!
“Are you who you claim to be?”

One-to-Few (1:Few) Segmented Identification
Let’s hope you can tell me something
about yourself
Scan your biometric
DOB9/9/76
DOB6/8/80
DOB5/21/72
System compares only against small
segment of database
“Are you in this group?”

One-to-Many (1:N) Identification
Scan your biometric Compare against
entire biometric database
“Who are you?”

Takeaways
• 1:1 and 1:Few CANNOT prevent duplicates or fraud
• 1:N CAN
