Fast and accurate capture of information is essential during an emergency. ePOD Manager streamlines patient and evacuee information, captures the citizen's demographic information, and enables first responders to keep track of patients and evacuees as they receive services. ePOD Manager supports 1D, 2D and PDF417 barcodes from driver’s licenses, social security cards, and national ID cards. The combination of multiple capture devices including Web Kiosk Self Registration and OCR Patient Entry enables unprecedented access to verifiable demographic information. In a disaster situation, every second counts.
