LifeMed ID, a wholly owned subsidiary of OrangeHook, has announced that it has entered into a partnership agreement with ImageWare Systems. The new partnership combines LifeMed ID's Authoritative Identity Management Exchange (AIMe), a solution that eliminates many root causes of patient misidentification, with ImageWare's multi-modal biometric authentication platform GoVerifyID.”Our partnership with ImageWare combines our proven methods of patient identity proofing with multi-modal biometrics to streamline patient authentication. As a result, we can eliminate manual processes that are the source of serious errors and continued creation of duplicate medical records,” said Rick Resnick, co-CEO, LifeMed ID. “Our token agnostic approach offers customers full flexibility to address the wide variety of existing workflows across the care continuum and allows them to evolve over time with ever changing technology. Healthcare organisations can now have the means to assure that every patient will have one identity permanently linked to the correct medical record across all points of care.””Healthcare organisations will be able to provide care with confidence knowing that they have the right medical record for each patient,” said Jim Miller, CEO, ImageWare Systems. “The healthcare enterprise will be enabled to operate more efficiently and the risk of medical identity fraud is drastically reduced using biometric authentication. The combination of AIMe and GoVerifyIDs biometric platform is a powerful combination that will help further assure that the correct health record is being tied to the right patient.”
