Gemalto and Devon IT Provide Security for Healthcare Organizations
October 2007 by Marc Jacob
Gemalto announced a new joint solution to increase patient information security and clinician efficiency within healthcare facilities. Healthcare providers can now use Gemalto .NET cards to securely log on and begin or resume work at any Devon IT thin client workstation in seconds. The solution helps healthcare organizations increase productivity, reduce IT support costs and comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
A thin client is a limited-resource computer that acts primarily as a display and input device. It accesses software and data running on a central server instead of locally. Since applications and information are Web-enabled, they can be delivered to any device, at any location, over any connection using the Gemalto .NET card for digital security and identity.
To access their personal desktop on the healthcare network, clinicians and staffers simply insert their Gemalto .NET card into the thin client reader and enter their PIN. Removing the Gemalto .NET card ends the session immediately, and logging in again from anywhere instantly restores the desktop as they left it, saving considerable time for users. Network administrators can even set up security parameters, allowing employees to access only certain data and/or applications.
For healthcare facilities using Citrix Systems application delivery products, both Gemalto .NET cards and Devon IT thin client terminals have completed Citrix Ready(tm) verification, and can operate fully in Citrix environments.
