Single Sign-On for McKesson

Today's McKesson hospitals need single sign-on for healthcare that speed clinicians' access to patient data, eliminate password management headaches, support strong authentication for greater security, and enable compliance with data privacy and protection regulations - specifically HIPAA compliance. But delivering an elegant clinical single sign-on solution that your doctors, nurses and clinicians will embrace can be a daunting task. OneSign Single Sign-On is the answer to access and data security issues. OneSign can address your challenges by increasing password security and improving user productivity while reducing password management costs.

Finding the balance between user satisfaction and securing patient data is critical for healthcare organizations to deliver top-notch patient care. Imprivata has addressed these access management and authentication challenges, by delivering the most effective security and access management solutions to healthcare organizations making use of the McKesson healthcare information applications. As your healthcare staff provide patient care, they utilize different workstations or log-in points. With the advent of EMRs, it can be disruptive for staff to constantly re-enter credentials—or frustrating to have to ask IT for help with forgotten passwords.

“In a large McKesson shop such as ours, with thousands of users in constant motion, managing access to data in nearly 200 applications can be very problematic—in terms of security risk, help desk costs and time wasted logging in and out of various systems,” said Christopher Paidhrin, HIPAA and IT Security Officer for Southwest Washington Medical Center (SWMC). “Imprivata OneSign has allowed us to centralize our identity and access management process and introduce several forms of strong authentication for secure and convenient access. Today we are reaping the benefits in terms of increased productivity, reduced costs and overall improved security.”

Additionally, Imprivata has worked with McKesson to deliver the ability to trigger a strong authentication event at the point of pharmacy order transaction in compliance with the Ohio Board of Pharmacy through its ProveID functionality. Imprivata offers a powerful yet affordable healthcare single sign on solution coupled with strong authentication and full reporting features for McKesson Hospitals.
