As dentists, we strive to provide the best medical care possible for our patients, many of whom have complicated medical histories. For the patient with a chronic disease, communicating that medical history to caregivers is vital to receive quality care. During an injury or episode of illness, many patients become confused or are unable to communicate with an EMT or Physician. In many cases, a person’s identification is not readily available and family members are either not available, difficult to contact or are unable to recall information due to the stress of the situation.
The I-DENTI-FIED System was created for dentists to provide tools that will assist patients with both Permanent identification and a Personal Health record (PHR) so they can manage and communicate their medical history in the event of an emergency.
Rocio, a patient of Dr. Lawrence Adams in East Chicago, IN, enrolled in I-DENTI-FIED in November 2008. “I am a diabetic who has had two kidney transplants, handfuls of surgeries and I’m on so many medication, and I can update my PHR whenever my information changes.”
Dr Williamson of Crown Point, IN, said she thinks the device is “a great idea”. “I used to service nursing homes for 15 years. Sometimes the residents leave and just elope.” If they’re injured and paramedics try to administer medication, their allergies and other information would be a their fingertips. Often, it’s a matter of saving a life when time is of the essence.
