For some patients who have difficulty communicating (dementia, language
barrier, psychosis, etc.) I definitely see non-verbal identification as
a very valuable goal. Biometric identifiers could be useful (and
implemented eventually in the way future), but the project is thinking
much more basic at the moment --- use GNU Health, FHIR interoperability,
etc. SSNs (Social Security #s) and MRNs (Medical Record #s) work well
enough usually (!). On the other hand, fraud is not on my mind at the
hospitals where I work in the States. What is on my mind is figuring out
who is who and similar issues: patient history, current illness,
imaging, etc.
