What we do - SINGLE SIGN-ON
The last thing you need when caring for patients is another system to log into. TnHIE’s Single Sign On service works within your existing EHR system.
Single Sign-On (SSO) seamlessly enables access to a patient’s medical record in TnHIE when you open the patient’s medical record in your EHR system. User authentication happens automatically in the background, so providers are able to see the patient information in their own EHR, plus cross-community information that has been submitted to TnHIE by other providers who treat that patient.
SSO’s automated user authentication eliminates the need for staff to open the Clinical Viewer portal and manually enter login credentials. Patient data from TnHIE is automatically displayed within your EHR when the patient record is viewed. Information from TnHIE is view only, current at the time it is viewed, and is not automatically stored in your EHR.
Implementing TnHIE SSO creates these benefits for providers and clinical staff:
- Up-to-date, cross-community data from TnHIE is available within your EHR
- Streamlines user access and reduces clicks by automating the login and logout process
- Improves accessibility of cross-community information available in TnHIE
- Eliminates the need to log into and keep the TnHIE Clinical Viewer portal open
- Reduces the number of passwords providers and staff must remember and manage
- Adding and removing TnHIE users resides within your organization, reducing administrative processes for TnHIE portal access
- No annual TnHIE compliance training requirement
TnHIE participants using SSO have reported a significant increase in the number of HIE patient records accessed by their providers and staffs. Having readily available, up-to-date clinical data from others in the community saves time and can assist in providing the best possible care to your patients.
