Patient ID

No.  All customer data remains on the customer site on equipment (that Vision RT provides) which the customer maintains.  Vision RT does not house, store or backup this data.  Vision RT does not provide any data processing capability on this data.  It is possible for Vision RT service staff to view the data during customer-initiated service interactions. Vision RT’s policy is for customer data not to be copied under any circumstances.  Inadvertent transmission of ePHI data by customers to Vision RT is treated as a data loss and is reported by Vision RT to the customer (along with immediate deletion of the data on Vision RT’s systems).

The Patient ID module uses advanced infrared facial recognition technology that offers the highest level of patient identification accuracy (i.e. delivering very low False Acceptance Rates [FAR] with clinically acceptable False Rejection Rates [FRR]).

The Patient ID module uses a clinically appropriate authentication threshold which results in a FAR of 0.004%, rendering false recognitions virtually impossible.

Based on this FAR figure, if 1 person came to the department every day to claim they were somebody else, it would take 68 years for the system to falsely accept them once.

The Patient ID module is compatible with AlignRT v6.3 and above.
