Entrust and Passlogix Deliver Convenient Yet Secure Access to Baptist Medical Center

ESSO & Identity Management Technology Are Paving the Way for Superior Care for Jacksonville Florida Community Patients

“At Baptist, our number one priority is to help our medical professionals efficiently provide superior healthcare to their patients.  My team’s goal was to give them simple and secure access to the information they need to deliver that care,” said Roland Garcia, CIO of Baptist Health. “Passlogix and Entrust provided a solution that was relatively quick to deploy, and that provides convenient and secure access to our clinical systems.”

Passlogix’s v-GO SSO enterprise single sign-on solution and Entrust’s GetAccess, a component of the Entrust Secure Identity Management solution, allow physicians to access confidential patient records and Baptist’s clinical and diagnostic systems through a browser-based portal.  Now Baptist Health is delivering secure access for physicians in any location, while encouraging adoption and ensuring compliance with the government’s HIPAA regulations, a mandate that requires healthcare providers to protect against the misuse and disclosure of individual health information.

”One of the greatest challenges in healthcare organizations is providing medical professionals with timely access to all the unique independent applications they use,” said Marc Boroditsky, president and CEO of Passlogix.  "By delivering a solution that is very easy for doctors and other medical professionals to use, we ensure enterprise wide adoption for clients like Baptist Health.”

Baptist’s CPOE system is being deployed to medical professionals, including doctors and nurses, throughout the Baptist organization. The CPOE system greatly simplifies ordering of diagnostic tests, medical procedures and prescription medications, resulting in faster resolution of patients’ medical problems and improving outcomes.

“We are excited that Baptist Health has chosen to use the Entrust Secure Identity Management Solution to securely extend its access to patient information through web technologies,” said Kevin Simzer, senior vice-president, Marketing and Products, Entrust, Inc. “Many healthcare organizations are seeking ways to leverage the Internet to deliver more personalized services to their clients and partners. The combination of Entrust’s and Passlogix’s offerings gives customers like Baptist the confidence that their sensitive information is secured.”

Baptist Medical Center offers a full range of medical and surgical specialties, including cardiovascular care, comprehensive cancer services and a full complement of women's and children's services. Other centers of excellence include adult and children's emergency centers, hyperbaric medicine and wound care, bloodless medicine and surgery, psychology and psychiatry services and pulmonary services.
