Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) in Healthcare

Ekhlas Uddin Jewel — Wed, 02 Dec 2015 10:50:01 +0000

Guests: Ray Madril – Senior Director of Innovation and Engineering, Healthcast The negative impact of data breaches and the need to implement stronger data security has spurred a rise in adopting single sign-on (SSO) technology in healthcare. One of the major advantages of single sign-on is a reduction in the number of passwords staff needs to remember. Once staff logs in to an application that’s part of the single sign-on system, they can access any other application supported by single sign-on without signing in again. However, SSO solutions are designed to not only provide a higher level of data security, but to also create workflow efficiencies and alleviate the stress and pressures of adhering to strict security protocols by providing a seamless sign on experience for clinical staff.

The fact that so many health IT vendors now have access to and possess protected health information necessitated shift changes in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 which was enacted to establish ground rules for the privacy protection of individually identifiable health information.

Patient Engagement in Healthcare Defined: Measuring its Effectiveness

Ekhlas Uddin Jewel — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 06:48:54 +0000

It’s been said that patient engagement develops naturally when there is a regular, focused communication between patient and provider and it leads to behaviors that meet or more closely approach treatment guidelines. It is also believed that patients engaged in their own care make fewer demands on the health care system and more importantly, they experience improved health. Patients who are educated about both their condition and their care are also patients who are most likely to get and stay healthy. In fact, many believe that empowering patients to actively process information, decide how that information fits into their lives, and act on those decisions is a key driver to improving care and reducing costs.
