secure access to healthcare systems
Issues relating to secure access to healthcare systems are familiar to IT managers. How can quick, convenient access to information be balanced with the best possible security to protect patient data? Which is the best route to fast access for busy clinicians to the multiple applications most of them need to use?
This feature, sponsored by Imprivata, looks at ways in which NHS trusts around the country are approaching these challenges using single sign-on technology. Case studies from Tameside and Cambridge show that it is possible to solve the problem of multiple passwords for multiple applications, saving time and resources. They also demonstrate how single sign-on technology can be integrated with the NHS smartcard to make best use of this investment.
Finally, David Ting of Imprivata offers an expert view on the best routes to the goal of enabling secure access for authorised staff to healthcare networks and applications.
