'Meaningful-Use'-Compliant, Single Login, Federated Patient Portal System and Methods

摘要

A system and method for healthcare administration enabling a patient to simply provide a single login through the system as a trigger that permits the system to subsequently login to patient portals from a plurality of participant medical entities such as EMR networks based on the single initial login, among other operations. Specifically, a federated patient portal system assigns a meaningful use credit to a corresponding participant medical entity as the patient interacts with a user device, such as a patient medical records kiosk. The patient provides a biometric input to initiate a login session with the federated patient portal system through the user device. The biometric input enables the patient to quickly authenticate with the federated patient portal system while eliminating the need for initially providing alpha numerical text input for login.
