International Biometric Group (IBG) Announces April 9th Webcast: Biometrics and e-Prescribing

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 8, 2009

International Biometric Group (IBG) is pleased to announce its upcoming webcast Biometrics and e-Prescribing. IBG consultant Ashraf El-Arini will discuss the role of biometrics in e-prescriptions, as well as the existing and potential roles of biometric security in the health care industry.

The health care industry is transitioning from hard token and paper-based authentication systems to electronic systems due to a documented increase in fraud relating to prescription claims. Once implemented, the recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will allocate $20 billion to fraud prevention, registry interoperability and computerized health records.

Mr. El-Arini will address the following topics:

Successful deployments of biometrics in health care IT
Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on health care IT
The need for more stringent security measures due to rising rate of health care fraud
The DEA's Proposed Rule for e-Prescribing Controlled Substances
The viability of biometrics in authenticating e-prescription solutions
