Changes in the Healthcare Industry Requiring Digital Identity Authentication!

As health-related medical services become increasingly digitalized around the world, the need for convenient verification of personal information and identity between service providers and patients is growing in the medical services industry.

Why is the Healthcare Environment Shifting to Digital Services?

Since the onset of COVID-19, people have grown accustomed to maximizing convenience in providing and receiving services. This shift has raised expectations for service delivery and allowed for more efficient patient treatment than ever before.

Additionally, many existing medical institutions have struggled with outdated authentication procedures and systems. These inefficiencies have limited their ability to provide patients with a seamless digital experience. For example, manually identifying patients across multiple networks and facilities can become cumbersome for both providers and patients. Moreover, failure to properly identify patients may lead to delayed treatment, compromised patient outcomes, or even serious medical errors.

Healthcare organizations are now seeking opportunities for digital transformation to reduce traditional administrative costs and eliminate what both patients and providers perceive as unnecessary processes.

Cases of medical identity theft reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) increased significantly, from approximately 6,800 in 2017 to over 45,500 in 2020. This indicates that fraudsters face fewer barriers when obtaining prescriptions, submitting false insurance claims, or using victims' names to receive benefits fraudulently.

Due to these various challenges, the healthcare industry increasingly requires easy-to-use identity and personal information verification processes between service providers and patients.

This system reduces check-in times, eliminates administrative burdens, and enables faster, easier, and smoother on-site check-ins. At the same time, online identity authentication improves security by enabling better patient data management, including data collection and deduplication.

For patients who have completed identity verification, further identification is unnecessary, as service providers already have reliable data. This allows for accurate medication prescriptions, surgeries, and diagnoses to be performed immediately.

This approach leverages identity verification solutions to strengthen online registration processes and ensure accurate and reliable data collection. By doing so, healthcare organizations not only enhance compliance processes but also improve the overall user experience for their patients.

With ARGOS, healthcare providers can safeguard their environments from the growing risks of healthcare-related identity theft and fraud without requiring additional resources.
