The document summarizes VeriMed, an FDA-approved implantable microchip for patient identification and storing health information. Key points: - VeriMed is a passive RFID microchip the size of a grain of rice, implanted under the skin, that provides a unique 16-digit ID number linked to a secure database of a patient's medical records. - It is designed to provide emergency medical personnel quick access to important health information for patients who cannot communicate, like those with dementia or Alzheimers. - Studies show VeriMed could help reduce medical errors and improve health outcomes for at-risk patients by expediting access to accurate medical histories and notifications in emergencies.

Editor's Notes
- #7: About the size of a grain of rice, the VeriMed microchip contains a 16-digit unique ID number. Being a passive RFID microchip, it doesn’t actively send information to the reader but requires the reader to excite the microchip to relay the information. Despite many fears from people about being tracked, the VeriMed microchip does not have tracking capabilities. The microchip is pre-loaded in a sterile inserter and comes with instructions and registration materials.
- #12: A resident’s primary care physician and specialist can be called to assist the ER physicians in treating Brookdale resident.
- #13: The ER team can notify the family of what is going on. In addition, the facility can be notified about what is going on with a resident.

Port St. Lucie Medical Center, Martin Memorial medical Center, Martin Memorial Hospital South, and Lawnwood Regional Medical Center are Protocol Adopted hospitals.
