Healthcare organizations are using Single sign-on (SSO) in a variety of applications, using their hospital-issued photo ID badge as their single access credential. Healthcare providers such as doctors, nurses and other staff simply tap their badge to a contactless reader, to access with RFID powered SSO.
RFID helps fast and efficient access. If required, administrations might need a second credential for multi-factor authentication (MFA) in highly secure areas. SSO via RFID authentication also improves IT efficiency. IT teams spend an inordinate amount of time retrieving and resetting passwords, especially when they have to be changed often.
RFID readers tracks when a logged-in staff member moves away from a workstation and automatically signs them out preventing anyone to access confidential information. It allows administrators insight into security events— who did what, where and when
RFID cards power a connected data system, making the records available anywhere 24/7 providing access to patient data from all sources, including primary care doctors, medical devices and even pharmacies. This up-to-date patient information helps inform clinical decisions and provides a holistic picture of patient’s conditions and needs.
SSO with RFID is secured and fast patients and staff.
