The InSight Education Center will be releasing a new series of five webinars, beginning in early December.

The webinars are "bite-sized" learning opportunities that will clock in at 30 minutes or less, making them easy to digest and work in to busy schedules. Each webinar is 30 minutes or less and will cover specific topics around PhysDoc, so attendees can expect a presentation that gets into the nitty gritty of each topic. David Taylor, a Clinical Analyst in the IS Department at Oconee Medical Campus, will be the facilitator, and attendees can interact with him frequently on an open level.

Mark your calendars and register for the following webinars, beginning on December 9!

How American Express Can Help Improve Your Working Capital & Payment Efficiencies When Using McKesson Products

Single Sign-On. Is it Worth the Investment?

Track: Industry Hot Topics

Session Type: TED-Style Talk

The move from paper to electronic records promises improved efficiency, increased productivity and ultimately, better patient outcomes. Yet the lure of these benefits is often overshadowed by the initial drawbacks that result from the distraction and frustration associated with the security measures required to protect electronic patient data. While care providers want to ensure patient privacy, nothing can distract from their number one goal – delivering the highest level of patient care. So when time studies at Riverside Medical Center revealed that clinicians were collectively spending hundreds of hours retrieving lost passwords and resetting passwords for various applications, the IT team understood there was a strong requirement to implement a solution that met necessary security requirements and simplified the authentication process into multiple systems. Three years after implementation, the project has been a tremendous success. How did the journey go, what technologies were put in place that changed process, and was it worth it? In addition, what are the next steps as new technologies have been introduced; where do we go from here?

• Key Take-Away 1: Attendees will gain an understanding of the hard costs and soft benefits of single sign on applications and improved security based on an objective assessment of utilization and feedback from Riverside Medical Center.
• Key Take-Away 2: An overview of most current developments and trends in biometric authentication will be discussed along with the benefits, weaknesses, and opportunities they provide in the clinical arena.
• Key Take-Away 3: A live demonstration of SSO (Single Sign-on).
