Fujitsu and HT Systems to develop PatientSecure

Fujitsu Computer Products of America and HT Systems, a healthcare technology company, have partnered to develop PatientSecure, a patient identification management solution.

The PatientSecure solution will incorporate the Fujitsu PalmSecure biometric authentication sensor that uses near infrared light to capture the vein pattern in a patient's palm. The biometric sensor converts the palm vein image into a digital record that is associated with a patient's medical records. The combined technology solution will protect patients from identity theft and insurance fraud and ensures that each individual receives proper medical care.

David Wiener, vice president of sales and marketing at HT Systems, said: By implementing PatientSecure, hospitals realize an immediate increase in staff efficiency and patient satisfaction. Registration and re-admittance times for patients are reduced five to ten fold. In addition, because the patient's biometric information is married to the patient's medical record, you can be certain that the right medical care is given to the right person.

Joel Hagberg, vice president of marketing and business development at Fujitsu Computer Products of America, said: PatientSecure has already been deployed at Carolinas HealthCare System, a 19-hospital health system, creating the largest user base for any biometrically powered patient registration solution in North America. We believe that through our alliance with HT Systems, the patients and hospital staff that interact with the PatientSecure solution will provide a greater sense of security in today's modern world of medicine.
