Healthcare biometrics applications are increasingly becoming a part of the industry's architecture. As more and more facilities evaluate the benefits of using a biometric patient identification system to eliminate duplicate records, increase patient safety, lower hospital liability and stop medical identity fraud, it's important to understand the difference between 1:1 verification, 1:Few segmentation and 1:N identification searches. This presentation explains the differences between these search types in a biometric patient identification system, why 1:1 and 1:Few searches can't prevent duplicate medical records or medical identity fraud and why 1:N searches are the optimal searches for healthcare biometrics.

3. Studies have shown that:
• Avg. hospital duplicate rate is 5-10%
• Hidden cost of duplicates = $50
• 5 dupes/day = $78,000/year (based
on 6 day week)

consulting fees to merge their
duplicate medical records. Out of
65,000 potential dupes, only 22,000
were merged.
