International Biometric Group (IBG) is pleased to announce its upcoming webcast Biometrics and e-Prescribing. IBG consultant Ashraf El-Arini will discuss the role of biometrics in e-prescriptions, as well as the existing and potential roles of biometric security in the health care industry.

Mr. El-Arini will address the following topics:

* Successful deployments of biometrics in health care IT

* Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on health care IT

* The need for more stringent security measures due to rising rate of health care fraud
