“How Single Sign-On is Changing Healthcare: A Study of IT Practitioners in Acute Care Hospitals in the United States”
Single sign-on (SSO) automates the login process, enabling clinicians and IT practitioners to login just once on their desktop in order to gain faster access to applications – removing clicks, keystrokes and complex passwords. In light of the rigorous data security requirements in the healthcare industry, SSO and authentication management are almost always deployed together. The combination is growing in popularity because, as shown by Ponemon Institute research, it increases employee productivity, reduces helpdesk calls, and strengthens security.
This survey highlights the benefits that SSO can deliver to healthcare organizations, including:
- Time savings for clinicians and IT personnel
- Cost savings for hospitals as measured by employee productivity gains
- Overall increased security – reducing the potential for data loss or theft
- Increased adoption of electronic medical record applications
- Demonstration of meaningful use
