South Carolina Hospital Uses Single Sign-On, Virtual Desktops To Increase EHR Adoption, E-Prescribing

When Beaufort Memorial Hospital in Beaufort, S.C., wanted to migrate from handwritten doctors’ notes and progress reports to electronic health records (EHRs) and computerized physician order entry (CPOE), it deployed Imprivata OneSign. The single sign-on platform provides a way to keep health IT systems secure while still making them easy to access.

Mobile devices are just what the doctor ordered, but not all healthcare providers' IT departments have the right tools to manage them.

As I wrote about previously, I went into the 2014 HIMSS Annual Conference & Expo with certain expectations from the clinical perspective, and the show did not disappoint.

At HIMSS14, we had a number of in-depth conversations with IT leaders at hospitals and health systems from across the U.S. about their challenges, strategies and priorities for 2014 and beyond. One particular issue that is top-of-mind for many of the folks we talked to is electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS).

Why Fletcher Allen opted for single sign-on.
