Way2Care

With Way2Care, physicians and other caregivers can roam throughout a defined work area and sign on to different workstations simply by tapping their badge against a workstation card reader. Way2Care can even use the same badge that’s used for building access—making that one ID card the only ID card your employees carry.

How Way2Care works as an advanced authentication solution This streamlined solution for advanced authentication is created specifically to keep healthcare organizations in compliance, enabling hospital IT personnel to simultaneously lock down the desktop while supporting and enhancing clinical workflows.

Works with your existing badges. The solution provides support for a wide variety of proximity card technologies including HID Prox, HID iCLASS, Casi-Rusco Prox, Indala Prox, Kantech, AWID, Mifare, and others.

Centrally controlled authentication grace periods. The duration of the grace period is centrally controlled and can be set for the enterprise or by workstation group.

One tap to lock/log-off. The solution can be configured to lock the workstation or require sign out of all applications gracefully with the tap of a badge.

Simplifies re-authentication. The physician or nurse can simply tap their proximity badge on the reader to log on. If the authentication grace period has expired, a two-part authentication is then required.

expreSSO

expreSSO streamlines the organizational rollout of single sign-on with a powerful wizard tool. This tool grants healthcare organizations total ownership and control of how single sign-on is deployed and maintained hospital-wide through a cost-effective “Do It Yourself” approach.

expreSSO works as a single sign-on solution with: Expedited clinical workflows on personal and shared workstations. Quick, controlled access to patient data with a single set of credentials with automated sign-on. Streamlined re-authentication means you can more quickly take care of business—such as ordering and administering medications and signing clinical documentation. Automated log-offs help protect against unauthorized access to patient data. A seamless, easy-to-use solution with easy installation, administration, and application integration makes the transition to single sign-on happen with little to no disruption.

proVision

Uniquely designed for healthcare, proVision enables organizations to automatically provision applications and easily create user accounts for employees and outside users who require access to computer resources. proVision provides near real-time status of a user’s electronic identities and includes rich delegation features to enable self-service capabilities for non-technical users. Simply put, proVision allows IT administrators to effectively track users and application accounts across the enterprise.

How proVision works as an identity management solution

proVision requests can be completed the same day. Turnaround time on provisioning requests can be reduced from weeks to the same day.

Supports security and audit ratings. Minimizes risk of unauthorized access by imposing consistent processes for managing system users.

Low IT costs and support. Keep hands-on IT support and errors low with a consistent provisioning process for all computer users.

Supports compliance efforts. Organizations can implement privacy policies that adhere to HIPAA, JCAHO, and other regulatory compliance. With comprehensive “fine-grain" provisioning, proVision makes it possible to automatically provision applications from corporate e-mail to the most complex clinical systems, with the necessary account attributes.

Microsoft Vergence

Vergence minimizes the tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone activities of signing on to each application and then searching for the patient’s record in each application. Vergence privacy auditor can be added to provide a centralized audit capability that tracks access of each patient’s electronic record independent of the specific applications used.

How Vergence works as a clinical workstation solution

Single sign-on Enables caregivers to enter their enterprise directory credentials once in order to gain access to any application.

Fast user switching Clinicians can quickly and confidently share workstations—knowing that they will have quick and proper access to the applications and records they individually need.

Re-authentication Streamlines tasks such as ordering and administering medications or signing clinical documentation—all while accommodating any re-authentication needs.

Context management Enables caregivers to select the patient of interest once, in any application, in order to tune all applications to the same patient—saving time and minimizing the risk of mixing patient data.

Role-based access and a familiar desktop A role-based toolbar called Launchpad standardizes the look and feel of diverse workstations across the enterprise. This helps standardize the user experience throughout the day.

Patient-centric system navigation A drop-down list of recently viewed patients can be used for selecting a patient’s record for viewing across multiple applications.
