Information Management Issues in Healthcare
• The paper-based, fragmented U.S. healthcare system, as thoroughly documented by the (IOM) Institute of Medicine and others, is broken.
• Health information technology and electronic connectivity can help transform the system to better meet the needs of patients and their families. The widespread adoption of clinician-controlled electronic health records (EHRs) is critical — but not enough.
• A key part of a necessary transformation in healthcare is putting patients’ information directly into their own hands, and enabling patients to put often-missing information into the hands of their clinicians (e.g., what medications they are actually taking).
• Personal health records (PHRs) can and should play an important role in helping bridge an information gap that exists too often today between people and the health professionals who serve them.

Challenges of Emergency Personnel in the field
• When EMS is called to a remote accident, what do they know about this accident victim?
• Can the Patient talk to EMS to give important information
• Does the Patient speak English or cannot talk because of injuries
• What Prescriptions are they currently taking
• Any known Allergic Reactions or Allergies?
• Allows individuals to use their Medical Records during an Emergency to Notify EMS of Life Saving Information
• Using an “eLife Card” the EMT can now Stabilize the Patient on site, because he/she Medical Records are on the Smart Card they will know what treatment to provide in saving their life before reaching the ER.

What is CASINOPASS?  

Card Logistics offers a wide variety of solutions designed specifically to meet the needs of the Entertainment / Gaming & Leisure markets using CASINOPASS.

CASINOPASS provides a multi-application debit, loyalty and e-purse, creating a secure leisure environment for the patrons of international casinos. The CASINOPASS cards will also create major savings in cash handling for the company or hotel. CASINOPASS can be used to pay for slot machines, meals and entertainment; while collecting loyalty points for casino patrons. New customers simply ask for a CASINOPASS smart card when they enter the casino. They charge the card with money using the note acceptor in gaming machines and start playing. Stakes are debited electronically, and any winnings are stored on the card electronically. When they leave winnings can be exchanged for a check or paid directly into a bank account.

Card and user authentication is carried out within the slot machines, using the same kind of SAM (Security Access Module) that is used in smart card point-of-sale terminals and ATMs. All the machines are networked, and information on every transaction is transmitted to a central server. The system is integrated with the casino management software, providing an invaluable tool for monitoring and improving casino and hotel operations.
