CITRUS HEIGHTS, Calif., Aug. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — LifeMed ID,
a “Trusted Patient Identity” software company, is deploying its
SecureReg™ software to PETLinQ’s customer base nationwide.
LifeMed’s automated card registration solution authenticates and
accurately identifies patients for each visit or procedure,
automatically evokes the correct medical record using current
registration software and workflow, verifies insurance, and
provides photo ID on card and registration screen. LifeMed will be
placing card readers at multiple locations throughout each provider
facility for effortless check-in, eliminating the need for
handwritten forms. LifeMed’s deployments will also include
encrypted Smart or Magnetic cards and onsite branded card
issuance.
In addition to safety and security, SecureReg™ solution
ensures that each patient is matched to only one record number per
location per visit – greatly diminishing duplicate records,
admission error, fraud, and decreasing accounts receivables (A/R)
delays. Patients will feel a heightened sense of privacy and
security not having to produce a driver’s license, birthdate, or
addressee information at each encounter with a facility
representative. All of this will be achieved while also increasing
overall patient satisfaction by streamlining the check-in and
registration process within seconds.
LifeMed ID’s SecureReg Integrated™ Smart card includes the
added utility of patient demographics and vital health information
such as medications, allergies, medical conditions, and alerts. In
addition, this information will be retrievable and updateable by
pre-authorized providers, clinicians, and first responders for
life-saving information during an emergency, accident, or natural
disaster.
LifeMed’s case study demonstrated: Patient satisfaction
rates top 5% of all hospitals, billing errors reduced by 88%,
decreased outstanding A/R days by 27%, duplicate medical records
reduced by 9
