Positive Patient Identification (PPID) Market

Market Insights

Patient misidentification is one of the most serious issues faced by healthcare organizations worldwide. It occurs in several ways, with the root cause being the manual handling of the identification process. Some of the major instances of patient misidentification include providing false information intentionally, a change in the patient’s name, an improper oral registration process, and others.

According to the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), over 40% of duplicate medical records are due to inconsistent records of the patients’ first and last names. In the U.S., preventable medical errors cause more than 400,000 patient deaths every year. Typically, the average cost per misidentified record exceeds $1,000, resulting in significant financial loss throughout the year. This makes effective and reliable patient identification highly essential in healthcare organizations.

Positive patient identification refers to a system of hardware and software components used to identify a patient’s identity. The hardware comprises scanning devices used for reading barcodes, RFID tags, and also biometrics. The scanned information is processed using integrated software and checked with the central information system of the organization.

With the rising trend of reducing the working hours of healthcare team members, the number of personnel caring for each patient increases. This makes miscommunication even more likely, eventually leading to patient misidentification. Subsequently, there can be a strong need for an automated patient identification solution that can reduce the number of identity thefts and misidentifications effectively.
