How SSO Streamlines Identity Management to Improve Healthcare Workflows

Digital health tools can give clinicians insights at their fingertips, but cumbersome workflows for login and access often lead to frustration. In recent years, hospitals and health systems have embraced the agility of single sign-on technology to let users sign in once and, upon authentication, gain access to all of the applications they’re authorized to use.The flexibility and agility this provides is a win for both clinical and security teams, according to Brandon Traffanstedt, senior director of the global technology office for CyberArk. SSO can augment identity and access management (IAM) strategies, letting security departments centralize robust policies for least-privileged access controls without putting the burden on end users to recall complex passwords.

The clear benefit of SSO is removing the administrative burden of logging in to individual applications. This typically manifests in simple passwords that are easy to crack, or lists of passwords, which are easy to misplace. And when it comes to modern authentication standards, such as those spelled out in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Digital Identity Guidelines, it’s more than passwords too.Once a clinical user is logged in, SSO and IAM platforms work in tandem to monitor how they move from one application to another over the course of their shift. (This also extends to machine identities, which can be assigned to everything from remote monitoring devices to workstations on wheels.)
