As part of a year-long pilot program starting this week, patients must submit a fingerprint scan to see a physician at Holzer Health System and must use fingerprint IDs to fill prescriptions at pharmacies. The fingerprint data will upload to a patient’s electronic medical record and will track physician visits, pills prescribed and prescriptions filled.
The state of Ohio has pledged $500,000 to support the program, while Holzer and CrossChx, the data-analytics company providing the scanning devices, have pledged $900,000.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
