Harris County Hospital District Puts Patient Safety in the Palm of Your Hand


Healthcare system becomes first in Houston to offer cutting-edge patient identification technology





HOUSTON (April 5, 2011) – The Harris County Hospital District is the first healthcare system in Houston to use a new biometric palm scanner to launch a new patient identification system. The palm-based scanner uses infrared technology to map a patient’s network of veins. Vein-pattern identification is unique to each individual and does not change over one’s lifetime, and is said to be about 100 times more accurate than fingerprints.











After a patient’s palm is scanned, the new PatientSecure system generates a unique number that corresponds to the patient’s hospital district personal electronic medical record. The number, only useful to the Harris County Hospital District, quickly and securely helps staff ensure that the right person will receive the right care and treatment.





“This is another safeguard to ensure that we are providing the proper care to the correct person and that the person receiving the care is the correct person,” says Dr. Robert Trenschel, senior vice president and administrator, Ambulatory Care Services, Harris County Hospital District.





To illustrate the need to positively identify patients and ensure that each has their corresponding electronic medical records, consider these facts:





Number of patients in the Harris County Hospital District’s database:


3,428,925











Number of times when two or more patients share the same last and first names:


249,213








Number of times when five or more patients share the same last and first names:


76,354








Number of times when two or more patients share the same last and first names, and date of birth:


69,807








Number of patients named Maria Garcia:


2,488








Number of Maria Garcia’s sharing the same date of birth:
