Abstract
Embodiments are directed toward facilitating securely and efficiently providing medical-test results. Some embodiments enable secure and efficient mass testing by eliminating the requirement that patients provide personally identifying information after collection of their first testing specimen. The system enables delivering test results to such patients without the patients providing personally identifying information with specimens to be tested. The first time that a patient requests a medical test on a specimen, values representative of biometric characteristic thereof are recorded with personal information for the patient. Some embodiments facilitate looking up the patient's personal information by using values representative of biometrics obtained from the patient's subsequent specimens to be medically tested. Some embodiments facilitate security by storing personal information and biometric identifiers in separate data stores and linking records in those data stores by way of an identifier that does not identify the patient.
