Identify yourself. Using palm vein scanning to ID patients fits right in with the innovative culture at BayCare.
Quickly identifying patients can give a new EMR more bang for the buck. If you don't have all the answers, reach out via the Internet and networking. Using a novel approach to demonstrate a new technology to the organization can have fantastic results. Clarity around patient identification leads to continuity in care. The culture of innovation starts at the top. An offsite with speakers can encourage innovative thought. Originality and creativity go hand in hand with risk. Rewarding behaviors and celebrating success lead to a culture of innovation.
