Radiotherapiegroep Arnhem Clinic ensures patient identification with PalmSecure by 100 percent accuracy

Customer

Radiotherapiegroep believes that every patient deserves the best professional and personalized radiotherapeutic care available via well-trained and motivated employees as well as an efficient workflow. The clinic provides patient-friendly, secure and high quality radiotherapy care using modern techniques and equipment to achieve this goal.

Challenge

The Radiotherapiegroep needed to accurately ID its patients. The clinic wanted to implement a fast, integrated and accurate ID solution to reduce human error.

Solution

Arnhem Clinic deployed ten Fujitsu PalmSecure scanners, which use near-infrared light to capture a person’s palm vein pattern, allowing precise identification. Arnhem worked with existing partner, Cablon Medical B.V., to develop an interface with its Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) patient-setup-verification software (Theraview) and treatment verification technology.

Benefit

• Provides a quick, non-invasive and fully integrated way to correctly ID patients
• Ensures optimal security of sensitive data, by encrypting on transmission and then encrypting a second time within the application
• Enables the organization to maintain records for compliance purposes
