Patient fingerprinting speeds up registration, cuts medical records backlog, mistakes.

La Porte (IN) Hospital is using cool new fingerprint scanners in its patient registration areas to speed up sign-in for patients and reduce backlogs of duplicate medical records. Once the hospital stores an electronic copy of a patient's fingerprint on file, future admissions take as little as a minute. The hospital was the first in the country to employ the potentially money-saving technology, and it's drawing lots of interest.
