Abstract

Certain embodiments provide systems and methods for remote patient registration. A method includes configuring a kiosk in response to a user language selection; gathering data, including biometric data, from a user at the kiosk; comparing gathered data with stored patient data; and generating identification output for the user. A remote patient registration kiosk system includes keys and indicators arranged for actuation by a user. One or more of the keys and indicators is capable of being programmed to represent and to visually indicate a predetermined data or function in response to a language selection. A processor coupled to the keys and indicators programs the keys and indicators and accepts user input through actuation of the keys and indicators to register a patient based on input received from user actuation of the plurality of keys and indicators. An identification output is generated for the user in response to patient registration.
