NHS resource center

Securing access in the National Health Service

NHS trusts in the UK are familiar with password sharing and management problems.

Clinicians are busy people with no time to juggle passwords for five or six clinical systems, plus others for e-mail, internet and personal use
IT help-desk staff spend at least 30% of their time resetting users' passwords—rising to 40% when new applications are introduced. NHS trusts want this reduced immediately
Those in charge of IT security and corporate governance policy are insisting on a strong password policy and effective auditing. The sharing of user logins must stop

This dedicated Evidian NHS resource center provides focused material exploring answers to all these common scenarios by using Evidian's Enterprise SSO solution, which extends the use of Active Directory to deploy single sign-on integrated with the NHS smartcard.

Tunde Ishola, Head of IM&T at Winchester and Eastleigh Healthcare NHS Trust said: "Previously, staff had to remember up to 15 unique sets of log-in details for the healthcare applications they were using. This not only placed a burden on the Trust's IT support, but also wasted valuable clinician time."

"By simplifying access to essential applications within the Care Records System, including X-ray, radiology, pathology blood requisition and JAC prescription applications, staff need only to log-in once to carry out essential daily activities, freeing up their time and resources to focus on patient care."
