Abstract
A method for identity (ID) verification, including: acquiring one or more ID indications of at least one item using a handheld verifying device; automatically verifying by the verifying device a desired relation between the one or more acquired ID indications and stored verification data associated with the verifying device; physically marking the item using the verifying device with a verifying marking if the desired relation is automatically verified.
Claims20
A method for identity (ID) verification in a medical facility, by verifying a relation between a patient ID indication and an ID indication of a medical-related item using a handheld verifying device, comprising:
- reading a first ID indication of a patient and a second ID indication of a medical-related item within a selected acquiring time window, stored in a memory associated with the medical handheld verifying device;
- storing in a memory of said handheld verifying device said first ID, and said second ID indication;
- verifying by said handheld verifying device, a desired relation between the first ID indication and the second ID indication by said medical handheld verifying device, wherein said verifying comprises verifying that said medical-related item is associated with said patient, wherein said verifying is prevented if said reading is not performed within said selected acquiring time window;
- delivering an indication with results of said verifying.
A handheld verifying device, comprising:
- a memory storing ID information of a medical personnel using the device, and for storing of ID indications, wherein said ID indications comprise at least one ID indication of a patient and at least one ID indication of a medical-related item;
- an identification (ID) reader configured to read said at least one ID indication of said patient and said at least one ID indication of said medical-related item;
- a communication circuitry configured to transmit a signal to a remote device;
- a control circuitry, wherein said control circuitry is configured to verify a relation between said at least one first ID indication and said at least one second ID indication of said medical-related item, and to signal said communication circuitry to transmit said signal to said remote device with results of said verifying and with said stored ID information of said medical personnel using said device, wherein said verifying a relation by said control circuitry comprises verifying that said medical-related item is associated with said patient, wherein said control circuitry is configured to prevent said verifying if said reading by said ID reader is not performed within a selected acquiring time window stored in said memory.
