GOSH's single sign-on cure

Kim Thomas

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) has slashed the amount of time medical practitioners spend logging onto different healthcare applications by adopting Vergence, an identity and access management solution from Sentillion.

"If you've got a lot of applications that you're using in concert, such as a pathology system, a prescribing system, a patient administration system and a radiology system, you're constantly having to look up the same patient record over and over again in different systems," said David Bowen, electronic patient record programme manager at GOSH.

According to Bowen, this is not only time-consuming but "potentially dangerous" because it is possible to mix up details from different patient records that may have been left open in different applications.

Vergence, which the London hospital finished rolling out to 1,000 users in August, allows doctors and nurses to sign on just once to gain access to all the applications they need. When they select a patient record in one application, the equivalent record opens in all other applications.
