Wallet Passes
RxScale uses digital wallet passes to help verify patient identity. This page explains what wallet passes are, how they work, and how patients use them.What is a Wallet Pass?
A wallet pass is a digital card that lives on the patient’s phone, in their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet app. It contains a QR code that can be scanned to verify the patient’s identity. Think of it like a digital membership card: the patient always has it on their phone and can show it whenever they need to prove who they are.How Does It Work?
Step by Step
- Patient receives a wallet pass. When a patient is registered in the RxScale system, they can receive a wallet pass via email or a direct link.
- Patient adds it to their phone. The patient taps the link to add the pass to their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. The pass is now stored on their phone and accessible at any time.
- Showing the QR code. When the patient needs to verify their identity (for example, when picking up medication at a pharmacy), they open their wallet app and show the QR code on the pass.
- Scanning the QR code. The pharmacy staff or other authorized person scans the QR code using the RxScale system.
- OTP verification. After the QR code is scanned, the system sends a one-time password (OTP) to the patient’s registered phone number via SMS. The patient tells the staff member the code they received.
- Identity confirmed. Once the OTP is verified, the patient’s identity is confirmed and the process can continue (for example, handing over the medication).
Why Use a Wallet Pass?
- Convenient — The patient always has it on their phone. No need to carry a physical card.
- Secure — The QR code alone is not enough to verify identity. The additional OTP step ensures that only the actual patient can complete verification.
- Fast — Scanning a QR code and entering an OTP takes just a few seconds.
