Healthcare

Everywhere in the continuum of care, card technologies create a better patient experience. During admission, patient cards streamline patient registration and coverage verification. As pointers to a medical record, smart cards can provide crucial information in emergent settings and better overall care in outpatient settings. Savings from the reduction in registration errors alone supports much of the cost of card deployments.

As part of the inpatient or skilled nursing experience, card technologies provide better security and expanded services. Easily recognized identification cards raise security and are required for many sensitive areas, like nurseries. Building access control and network access can be combined in the same credential, laying the groundwork for both HIPPA and JCAHO compliance. Document workflow and records control can both be enhanced with card credentials.

Even mundane card applications, such a printing, vending and food service, can have fairly dramatic impacts on healthcare operations. Every healthcare dollar is precious and auxiliary services can be a significant source of savings and revenue. Card based stored value reduces cash handling costs at the same time that card convenience drives consumption up. This is above and beyond the goodwill created amongst employees, patients and families by the additional service and convenience. These applications apply across the whole spectrum of care and are especially productive in integrated healthcare delivery systems.
