Summary
Imprivata has launched its Patient Access solution within the Epic Toolbox, significantly improving the patient registration process for hospitals using Epic's Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. The integration utilizes facial recognition and high-assurance identity verification to allow patients to securely create MyChart accounts from home, thereby eliminating the need for cumbersome activation codes and reducing the potential for medical errors due to duplicate records. This development supports the CMS's "Kill the Clipboard" initiative, aiming to streamline patient check-in processes and enhance overall efficiency in healthcare settings. For healthcare professionals, this means improved patient access, reduced administrative burdens, and better data integrity.
