AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Hospital emergency room workstations throughout the
United States soon will be able to use National Registry Inc.'s (Nasdaq: NRID - news; NRI),
''biometric logon'' to enhance security measures on their workstations.

leading Emergency Department software in the industry, and its success is attributed to product
performance, customer service, and client referrals. By implementing NRI's finger-image

finger-image authentication solutions to supplement THINC's access authorization and data
encryption technologies secures access to and confidentiality of patient information.
