Enterprise Single Sign-on: How 3 Hospitals Cured Their Password
Pain
Friday, January 20, 2006 - 9:00-11:00am
Massachusetts Health Data Consortium, Waltham, MA
Presented by  |
Description
How has Enterprise Single Sign-on (ESSO) moved from being an elusive
Holy Grail to a productive solution for the password problems that
challenge every hospital IT department? For many hospitals, ESSO
is proving to be not only possible, but practical and affordable.
Credit Valley, Maryland General and Good Samaritan Hospitals all
struggled with the same password problems facing most hospitals:
- Users, often sharing workstations, needed to log on and off
of applications countless times a day, requiring them to remember
perhaps a dozen different, alpha numeric passwords.
- HIPAA regulations mandated that user access be audited, providing
time and date stamps as users logged on and off of applications.
- Help desk calls related to passwords continued to skyrocket.
- IT departments were no longer staffed 24X7X365. A forgotten
password on a weekend presented a big problem for IT.
After positive and thorough evaluations, these three hospitals
came up with solutions that cured their password problems. Key
elements for success were:
- Enlisting the support of clinical users.
- Finding an ESSO solution that is affordable, easy-to-use and meets the needs of IT and users.
- Ensuring that the solution chosen understands the idiosyncrasies
of all critical applications being accessed by users today and down the road.
In this session, Craig Scheuer from Imprivata will discuss the
challenges facing healthcare organizations today, highlighting
how ESSO can help. Case studies from Credit Valley, Maryland General
and Good Samaritan Hospitals will be presented. And a quick demonstration
of Imprivata OneSign’s ESSO appliance will be delivered.
If password problems plague your hospital and you are skeptical
about the practicality of today’s ESSO solutions, you won’t want
to miss this presentation.
