BIO-key International has been providing healthcare facilities, hospitals and blood banks with biometric technology solutions since 1997. BIO-key software offers partners the capability to implement a biometric strong or two factor authentication ideal for meeting compliance regulations while achieving optimum security and performance. Although many healthcare providers and blood transfusion facilities turn to BIO-key for increased security the organizations soon realize the performance – workflow and administrative savings associated with integrating biometrics.
Strong Authentication: Passwords, tokens and pins might be acceptable for low level security. Incorporating finger biometrics measurable increases the level of security and allows partners to gain strong authentication; therefore protecting the organizations most valuable and private assets.
Audit Tracking: Finger biometric technology offers unequaled security and convenience to healthcare organizations. For multi-user, fast moving, intense work environments passwords, tokens and pins slow down the process and open up the gate for security breaches. Finger biometric technology allows end users to safely, securely and conveniently more from station to station and application to application with ease while meeting regulatory and compliance standards.
Regulatory & Compliance: Meeting the regulatory and compliance standards set by governing associations is vital. BIO-key recognizes the sensitivities of meeting and exceeding compliance standards and has always been a proponent of raising the bar to the highest level. Partners rely on BIO-key software to provide two-factor and strong authentication in order to meet the regulations of many governing bodies. Biometrics has and remains to be the most reliable and secure standard of identification. At BIO-key we like to say “If we’re good enough for the FBI; we’re good enough for you.”
Patient & Donor Identification: Hospitals and blood transfusion facilities have witnessed the challenges of accurately managing patient and donor identification. The larger the facility the more likely you are to have duplicate records or to encounter patients / donors that present fraudulent identification. BIO-key using our technology to compare your patient to a One to Many databases; ensuring that the patient is who they represented to be. In a healthcare environment one simple misidentification of a patient or donor could lead to fatal results. BIO-key developed the “most accurate” algorithm. Incorporating biometrics will increase your level of security; incorporating BIO-key will allow you to say; you chose the best biometric partner in the industry.
Testimonials:
“More than ten years ago, the Mayo Clinic successfully integrated
biometrics as part of upgrading their security process. West Tennessee
followed in their footsteps and began our own integration. The decision
to upgrade to BIO-key was to improve existing performance and to keep
pace with future growth as BIO-key is scalable and interoperable.
Managing passwords is cumbersome and costly, causing many administrative
challenges. Lost, forgotten and stolen passwords all create setbacks.
The security and convenience (users don’t have to remember to bring
their finger and it won’t get lost) is ideal for creating a single
sign on process for physicians, who typically are required to maintain
five or more passwords.” stated Jeff Frieling Vice President, Chief
Information Officer, West Tennessee Healthcare.
