CrossChx has raised $15 million in Series B funding in a round led by Khosla Ventures, with participation from previous investor Drive Capital. As part of the deal, Khosla’s Keith Rabois will join the company’s board as an observer. CrossChx has now raised more than $20 million total.

The startup makes what it calls “global patient identification,” which can reportedly improve patient care and prevent identity theft.

Said technology basically ties a patient’s medical records to a single ID. It can also identify possible identity-related errors in their records.

On the other hand, CrossChx offers kiosks for hospital lobbies where patients sign in by having their fingerprints scanned.

Founded in 2012, the company has been deployed in more than 100 hospitals across eight states, and has verified more than 2 million patient visits. With the fresh capital, CrossChx plans to build mobile tools, grow its staff from about 35 to 100, and expand nationally.
