Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Use of implantable chips can make a big difference in care of patients with altered mental status. With unconscious patients, staff can wave a reader over their arm to get information about their medical history and current medications. Since the chip has an identification number, but not medical records themselves, federal privacy laws are not violated. Technology is relatively inexpensive and can be borne by insurance carriers. |
