Healthcare Solutions Provider Uses Biometric Software To Improve Security, Conform To HIPAA

Jan 22, 2008

M2SYS Technology recently announced that LOGICARE Corp, has enhanced its OnRecord healthcare solution for emergency departments and patient educators by integrating M2SYS' Bio-Plugin fingerprint software.

"LOGICARE is using Bio-Plugin as a part of its vision to help patients maintain their right to privacy and to help our customers conform to HIPAA security regulations," said Dan McCune, a LOGICARE technical business analyst who is part of the company's product planning efforts. "Bio-Plugin not only enhances the security of our solutions but also makes it easier for busy users in the Emergency Department to quickly access the data they need to organize and document care. Selecting M2SYS' innovative Bio-Plugin technology has enabled us to deliver this important feature more rapidly than if we had used a fingerprint SDK. Bio-Plugin also simplifies our support."

Bio-Plugin enables software companies to rapidly integrate an enterprise-ready, seamless fingerprint recognition system, including a high-performance 1:N identification engine. Bio-Plugin eliminates the system dependencies, extensive development, and specialized knowledge of biometric complexities that are inherent to fingerprint SDKs. This enables software companies to remain focused on their core products, while adding a new revenue channel and more value to their customers with an integrated fingerprint authentication module.

"M2SYS is proud of LOGICARE's decision to select our cutting-edge fingerprint technology instead of a biometric SDK," said Michael Trader, president of M2SYS. "This partnership gives LOGICARE an added advantage in the competitive healthcare software solutions market without compromising their core business focus. Concurrently, LOGICARE is advancing their commitment to patient privacy and HIPAA compliance."
