Passlogix Solutions for the Healthcare Industry
If you're an IT professional in the healthcare industry, your challenge is to provide medical professionals with rapid, easy access to critical health information, while ensuring privacy of confidential patient medical records.
The Passlogix v-GO® Access Accelerator Suite enables you to control access to hospital kiosks, shared nurses' stations, insurance billing systems, pharmaceutical databases, physician laptops, and other systems in which sensitive patient information resides.
Fast Access to Vital Health Data
With v-GO Single Sign-on, your staff can access all their applications, databases, and systems using a single, easy-to-remember password. The ease and convenience of our "single password sign-on" eliminates the need to remember a dozen or more individual passwords, ensuring that healthcare professionals have fast access to medical records when they need them. The result: clinicians get access more conveniently and quickly, and you get fewer calls to the help desk for password resets.
With v-GO Session Manager, your staff doesn't have to worry if they walk away from a kiosk leaving applications open. v-GO Session Manager automatically suspends open sessions, and subsequently shuts down any open applications and the session, making the kiosk ready for the next user.
Improve Security
v-GO Single Sign-on does not require password synchronization, allowing password syntax to be set at the highest appropriate level. Because users only have to remember a single password, you can put more frequent password expirations in place, enhancing data protection.
Compatible with a wide range of smart cards, tokens, public key infrastructure (PKI), and biometrics, Passlogix v-GO Single Sign-on works with popular authentication devices. As a result, the Passlogix solution can enhance network security through various forms of advanced authentication.
Facilitate HIPAA Compliance
v-GO Session Manager enables secure kiosk computing at any location within the healthcare facility, monitoring and protecting unattended kiosk sessions from unauthorized access.
In hospitals, medical professionals are required to sign off workstations after finishing their work to avoid the disclosure of patient information to unauthorized individuals. But these busy professionals often forget to sign off, or keep their session open so they can easily finish their work later.
With v-GO Session Manager, inactive sessions are protected by a secure screen saver, permitting the next user to sign on to a new session while safely terminating the prior session. The IT administrator determines how long the kiosk can remain idle before terminating the session.
v-GO Session Manager logs all authentication activity. Audit reports include all user activity, such as who used the system, what applications were accessed, and when; providing full accountability for patient information usage.
