BIO-key's ID Director software delivers a layer of non-disruptive biometric authentication for hospitals that utilize Epic, Allscripts, and other EHR platforms. The company's hardware and software also supports the Windows environment. Additionally, we offer healthcare customers a mobile authentication component so that providers can be engaged 24/7. Healthcare customers benefit from BIO-key's flexible authentication engine, which supports proximity cards, passwords, PINs, tokens, and knowledge based - challenge response questions.
Organizations that offer EHR, Single Sign-on, and innovative workflow solutions are adding BIO-key's biometric software platform to complement existing authentication methods by increasing security, while enhancing the convenience of a process that is repeated hundreds of times per month by the doctors and nurses on staff.
