How can I automatically recognize the patient identification number?

Hospitals use Patient IDs or case numbers to distinguish their patients. The seca mBCA is equipped with a USB interface which enables every commercially available USB barcode scanner to be connected.
If the ID is encrypted with a barcode and is available on the patient's wrist or on a card, then the patient dataset can be loaded into the system. Since there's no need for a manual search, workflow is faster and more convenient.
