Abstract
An electronic medical record creation system receives an image of a patent identification card, as well as an image of a healthcare insurance card. The system processes the image of the identification card to extract the patient name, and it processes the image of the healthcare insurance card to extract names of one or more covered persons. The system determines which of the covered persons'"'"' name corresponds to the name of the patient, and it extracts a corresponding insurance identification number from the image of the healthcare insurance card. The system creates an electronic patient record for the patient that includes the identified covered person name and the insurance identification number.
