BethID

BethID is a digital identity solution developed by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). It is designed to provide patients with secure access to their medical records and other health-related services. BethID aims to streamline patient engagement by offering a single, unified platform for managing personal health information.

Upon enrolling in BethID, patients are assigned a unique digital identifier. This allows them to log in to the BIDMC patient portal, where they can view test results, schedule appointments, communicate with their healthcare providers, and request prescription refills. The system emphasizes patient privacy and data security, employing encryption and authentication protocols to protect sensitive health information. BethID is intended to empower patients by giving them greater control over their healthcare journey and facilitating more efficient communication with their medical team. It is part of a broader trend in healthcare towards digital transformation and patient-centered care.
