Handheld Computersfor Healthcare Identity & Access Management
Two Technologies rugged XF Android™ handhelds1 help improve patient and visitor identification, enhance security, and streamline workflows through biometric verification, wristband printing, and barcode scanning.
Accurate identification is critical to patient safety and efficient healthcare operations. Two Technologies mobile solutions, when used with supported Android devices, combine biometric verification, wristband printing, and barcode scanning to help healthcare organizations reduce identification errors and streamline patient and visitor workflows.
The Cost of Misidentification in Healthcare
Medical errors due to patient misidentification are a significant problem. A study showed that hospitals on average lose $17.4 million per year due to misidentification-attributable denied claims, and 86% of providers "have witnessed or have known of" a misidentification-attributable medical error.
Hospitals across the United States are already seeing powerful results from palm vein biometric technology. Carolinas HealthCare System saw its duplicate medical record rate fall by 98%.
