NextGate Adds Facial Recognition to Patient Identity Management Platform

NextGate, the leading healthcare technology company for patient and provider identity management, today announced the addition of a vendor neutral biometrics solution to improve the accuracy of identifying individuals and linking them to their medical records. By adding facial recognition technology to the powerful NextGate MatchMetrix® platform, organizations have additional mechanisms to search for and identify patients, therefore improving the speed and accuracy of matching duplicate records, decreasing fraud, and improving patient safety.

Biometrics capture unique physical characteristics of a person. Built on a neural network, NextGate’s facial recognition solution is trained to recognize important compositional features and then convert that information into a score. The score is incorporated into NextGate’s #1 KLAS rated Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI) as an additional measure to be weighed and calculated during patient identification, providing an even more precise link between a patient and their medical records.
