"BIO-key identity solutions can be easily implemented by healthcare providers looking to satisfy HIPAA regulations and to protect patient and donor information. Our solutions have been deployed not only to identify blood donors and patients, but also to identify medical staff for access to facilities and medication cabinets, without the need for personnel to remember passwords or produce ID cards which can be easily lost, forgotten or compromised," commented Mr. DePasquale. "BIO-key identity solutions reduce the risk of mis-identifying individuals while improving user convenience and lowering operational costs."
