Biometric Health ID system is a digital identification and verification method that uses unique biological characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, to securely link patients to their medical records and health insurance benefits. This technology is primarily used to eliminate fraud, reduce paperwork, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of healthcare delivery.
Key Features and Benefits
- Fraud Prevention: By using unique biometrics, the system eliminates impersonation, ghost claims, and fraudulent billing, which previously caused significant financial losses in health insurance systems.
- Enhanced Security: Biometric data capture with a “liveness check” ensures authenticity and prevents spoofing, providing a more secure method of identity verification compared to traditional methods like passwords or photo IDs.
- Streamlined Access to Care: Patients can be identified instantly without needing physical documents, shortening queues and allowing healthcare workers to focus more on patient care.
- Accurate Records and Patient Safety: The system links the right patient to their specific health records, ensuring correct diagnoses, treatment plans, and drug prescriptions, thus improving overall patient safety.
- Data Exchange: It is often part of a broader digital health infrastructure that includes electronic health records (EHRs) and a national health data exchange, enabling real-time data sharing between facilities and ensuring “one patient, one record, one system”.
Implementation in Kenya
Kenya is a prominent example, having recently transitioned its national Social Health Authority (SHA) verification to a mandatory biometric system, replacing the previous One-Time Password (OTP) method.
- Rollout Status: The system is operational in all Level 4, 5, and 6 public health facilities, with plans for a nationwide rollout to Level 2 and 3 facilities.
- Registration: Citizens can register for their Biometric Health ID through the official SHA website, by dialing *147# on a mobile phone, or during in-person drives at health facilities.
