The smart card patient IDs provide a number of benefits. They work to reduce patient record error by helping to eliminate duplicate records and other inaccuracies that can occur when there are mountains of paperwork involved. The cards allow providers to contribute and access accurate patient information more quickly. They work to eliminate medical fraud, and perhaps best of all they streamline the admission and registration process. To ease these processes, patients will be able to have the information on their cards read at the admissions department as well as the emergency department. All patient information contained on each card is securely encrypted within a smart card chip.
