Background

• Non-secure and unreliable identification of medical staff accessing patient records

 

Scope

• Development and implementation of a custom application for biometric identification of users on the CITRIX platform
• Custom application for the global pharmaceutical company Quintiles Transnational Corporation 
• Biometric integration with the QECG (Quintiles Centralized Electrocardiogram) service, an advanced application designed to help pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies analyze ECG data from clinical trials and use digital ECG data in submissions to regulatory authorities

 

Implementation

• BioLink scanners, a barcode scanner and printer, as well as a signature pad are connected to the client’s machines
• The biometric database, centrally stored on BioLink’s ASA Server, is also located on the Citrix server
• Delivery of the software development kit (BioLink SDK), ASA Server with 300 end-user licenses used to store the biometric database and 65 fingerprint scanners of the U-Match family for the pilot phase of the project
• Expected extension up to 300 workplaces equipped with biometric scanners

 

Outcome

• Improved and faster procedures of identifying the medical staff, with added credibility
• Prevention of misuses of patients’ ECG data
• Biometric identification of Citrix platform users is a popular trend in the authentication technology market
