In April 2009, the HITECH Act pushed for the use of Patient Electronic Health Records (EHR) by physicians and hospitals. But with this adoption, there are privacy and confidentiality issues when accessing records because it requires the adoption of key technology tools.
Because they are based on physical or behavioral human traits, biometrics security technologies ensure privacy in the retrieval of a patient’s EHR. By using biometrics, patient information is only available to those who need to access it and have the legal right to do so.
MacMall has a wide range of products with biometric capabilities that provide patients and medical practitioners the ease-of-mind that comes from the secure storage and retrieval of patient data.
