ELECTRONIC FINGERPRINTINGIN HEALTH EFFORTS

2

Providing quality health care to all people is critically important

Many efforts are limited by resources, processes and systems that do notsupport healthcare workers needs

Healthcare workers can be overwhelmed by paperwork and reporting, spending

less time with patientsBetter tracking of patientscan help

Assist healthcare workers byensuring access to moreaccurate medical history

Reduce paperwork & improveinformation availability

Ease hospital & clinic stocktracking by aggregating activity

Improve health outcomes forpatients

Systems work even inremote settings

Possible to use withoutconstant internet connection

Data can be stored on tablet

and uploaded later One or multiple units can be

linked

Electronic fingerprintingimproves patient tracking

Unique to each person, unlike aname

Can link a patient across

multiple sites More reliable than paper

records

CASE STUDY

CHILDHOOD VACCINATION: Benin


4/27

CHILDHOOD VACCINATION

CHALLENGE

Annually 24 million infants are not fully immunized

2.5 million children die each year from diseases that are easilyprevented by routine vaccines

High rates of vaccine waste (upwards of 50% in some regions)significantly increases the costs of immunization programs

Ineffective tracking and reporting systems lead to multiplevaccinations, product waste, reduced ability to plan for stockneeded

4

Reduced health benefits for children

Incomplete vaccinations leads to reduced protection and increased risk ofillness

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent serious, life-threatening diseases


5/27


MAKING STRIDES WITH NEW SOLUTIONS

Biometrac developed a mobile biometric-based vaccine registry

Capable of capturing juvenile fingerprints where not previously possible

Tracks child through the immunization schedule

SMS text reminder for upcoming vaccinations

Automated data aggregation and reporting

Vaccination Administration History

Accurate record of vaccinations receivedand eligibility for future doses

Dose acceptability enforced through

immunization schedule Able to integrate past immunization

history from vaccine card

Stock Management

Clinic stock recorded as vaccines are

received Stock is tracked as vaccines are

administered Reconciliation process can help pinpoint

waste rate and type

Reporting and Aggregation of Data

All data in the region is aggregatedautomatically at the central site

Regions data sent off the cloud for

further aggregation and processing Health officials at all levels can view data

via a custom web portal

Callback List

At an administration, health worker can

enter caregiver mobile number, caregivername and child name

Clinic workers can see list of families thatneed to be contacted sorted by nextallowable vaccination date

HEALTH SYSTEM USAGE

CHALLENGE

Zambia-Emory HIV Research Project (ZEHRP) was interested in betterunderstanding the care-seeking behavior of their patients so that they could besttailor their services to meet demand.

Services are offered include:

Couples counseling

Testing

HIV/AIDS education

Male circumcision

Family planning

13 site locations

HEALTH SYSTEM USAGE

MAKING STRIDES WITH NEW SOLUTIONS

Biometrac partnered with ZEHRP to digitize all clinical efforts into workflows,incorporating fingerprint identification of patients

Individual patient behavior can now be tracked across locations, allowing for

more comprehensive patient assessment Reporting aggregated patient behavior shows which elements of clinical care are

most needed
