Creating Multidisciplinary Views of the Patient Using Integrated Identity and Access Management

Don York, Director of IT, Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CRTC), The University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSC), San Antonio. Clinicians were previously faced with multiple user IDs and passwords, redundant patient queries and ongoing struggles to efficiently access data. Don explains how they were able to enhance care delivery, increase productivity and maximize system investments by providing caregivers with secure, expedient access to a multidisciplinary view of patient information with an integrated Identity & Access Management solution. He also describes the projects’ keys to success, including conducting a thorough analysis of clinical workflows to deliver the optimal end-user experience to clinicians who handle more than 120,000 cancer patient visits a year.
