Genesis HealthCare taps BIO-key for secure access
Genesis HealthCare System, based in Zanesville, Ohio, has deployed BIO-key International’s biometric identification system, enabling staff to securely establish their identity when ordering, verifying or administering medications.
In the initial rollout, 2,000 clinicians and staff use fingerprint biometrics to establish their identity in Genesis’ Epic EMR software to order, verify or administer medications, according to BIO-key, a Wall, N.J.-based vendor of finger-based biometric identification solutions.
In the next phase of its secure identity project, Genesis will implement fingerprint biometric user log-on with Vergence, a single sign-on solution from Sentillion. With these systems in place, Genesis staff members can establish their identity with the touch of a finger, giving them faster access to the systems they are authorized to use.
Genesis HealthCare System is a not-for-profit organization that serves a six-county region of southeastern Ohio. Genesis operates Genesis-Bethesda and Genesis-Good Samaritan hospitals and several affiliated healthcare organizations.
