LDC Card Encoded Systems for Health Care

The patient's color visual image, profile information, confidential medical and credit information and all plan data is stored on the 2-D barcode. Information that is stored on the 2-D barcode, but is not visible on the card includes the color visual image of the plan member, and can include any confidential information such as medical conditions, special care requirements and credit card information. When the card (2-D barcode) is scanned, a stream of ASCII data results, as such, it is the equivalent of text entry on a keyboard. This makes it relatively simple to integrate the complete patient profile with a provider management system. The 2 dimensional bar code (PDF 417) can contain more than one kilobyte of encoded data and uses a LDC patented technique for compressing and expanding color visual images.
