Gemplus Solutions for HIPAA compliance

Smart Patient Cards

• An automated method for healthcare providers to access critical patient information including administrative data, allergies, current medications, recent diagnosis, and emergency contact information. This benefits both the healthcare provider and the patient in situations where the patient cannot speak or does not speak English.
• Ability to store several pages of information and applications, and offer a mechanism to date and sign the entries, as with any paper medical file
• Tamper-resistant, thus protecting the information stored on the card
• Portable medical record that goes with the patient

Healthcare Provider/Personnel Cards

In many hospital environments, doctors, nurses, and staff share computer workstations in order to quickly access patient records on the network. In many cases, the only protection of confidential medical records is a password that can be easily compromised and forgotten.

Gemplus' SafesITe Corporate system addresses this problem and enables hospital networks to:

• Implement a Single-Sign On (SSO) system for centralized access to multiple applications
• Secure access to unattended workstations, as when the smart card is removed, the workstation automatically locks
• Reduce paperwork and administrative tasks
• Strengthen patient privacy through a secure, tamper-resistant smart card
• Enforce strong network authentication
• Enhance employee convenience
