Geisinger Health is using a biometric technology to check in patients with just a photo of their face.
Matt Henry, associate director on the health information technology team and program owner of the biometrics project, said the pilot program is intended to reduce misidentification and contact with staff for safety in cases of infectious disease. It also allows the patient to say less private information out loud in a public area. With the reduction in misidentified patients in emergency departments in the future, you end up having better outcomes because of accurate charts, Henry said.

LOCK HAVEN As Pennsylvania rolls out a multitude of vaccines in vast numbers statewide, Clinton County is ranked as one of the lowest counties in total vaccinated thus far.
Clinton County is sitting at 14.92% of its population totally vaccinated. That’s about 5,831 out of 39,074 county residents vaccinated.
When compared to surrounding counties, Clinton County is toward the bottom, along with Potter County with only 9.72% or 1,646 out of 16,967 people totally vaccinated. Other counties such as Cameron and Clearfield are sitting at the top of the list, with around 20% totally vaccinated by population, give or take.
Clinton County Commissioner Miles Kessinger commented on the low percentage, saying Clinton County doesn’t have a go-to vaccine destination for the mass public, outside of UPMC’s efforts.
