PROPOSAL
TO PLACE A HEALTH SMART CARD READER IN A

Home
Health Care Agency The
Health Smart Card is a credit card sized card with a computer
chip imbedded into it. The Smart Card will carry programmed medical
data and insurance billing information of the cardholder. The
card is easily updated whenever any changes occur.
By inserting the card into a
card reader which connects to a computer via a serial port, the
data is displayed on the computer screen in any participating
ambulance, emergency department, Doctor's office, pharmacy, outpatient
surgical facility, retirement home, or home health care agency,
etc. The computer screen display is easily printed to paper.
Examples of a printout, application form, card appearance and
instruction sheet are included.
The benefits to your facility
are:
- Whenever your clients are transported
to the emergency room or to their Doctor's office, the Health
Smart Card will contain all of the health and insurance information
needed by the health care provider. It might be read in a participating
ambulance, emergency department, or doctor's office.
- A printout of the card could
be produced by your facility for the resident to hand carry in
case there might not be a Health Smart Card reader where they
are going. This will increase efficiency and shorten the time
spent with each patient thereby making the evaluation quicker.
- If the patient is unable to
answer the health care provider's questions for whatever reason
then, with the smart card, detailed information is still available.
This may be life saving such as in instances of diabetic coma.
- Insurance billing information
is provided for up to two carriers with ID numbers and telephone
numbers.
- You could offer the Health Smart
Card at your expense to your prospective clients as an incentive
to engage your services. This would then be a marketing tool
to sell your services.
- You could assist your residents
in obtaining the Health Smart Card at their own expense and then
provide for them a reader in your facility so printouts can be
made to accompany them to their health care providers.
I would like to have an opportunity
to demonstrate the Health Smart Card and reader to you and discuss
how it will be of benefit to your facility.
I am requesting that you place
a Health Smart Card reader in your Home Health Care Agency to
be able to read the cards of any of your clients who are participants
of this program. If you have a reader in your facility, your
business name will be printed on an instruction sheet which is
provided to ALL card holders. This will be free advertising for
your Home Health Care Agency.
