Steve,

This has certainly been an interesting thread - a lot of great ideas have
been presented. One thing that got lost initially though is the point of
needing the security: HIPAA regulations. The whole point of them is to
provide security and privacy of medical records. Allowing doctors to do an
end-run around having to log in with unique information defeats the purpose
of the regulations. this exposes the patient's private medical information
(and here is the point to bring up with hospital administration) exposes the
hospital or medical group to HUGE liabilities and other legal consequences.

It may be beyond your control, but you might find that the possibility of
lawsuits might make it suddenly more palatable for the doctors to have to
'lower themselves' to remembering passwords to log into the systems.
(although a bar-code added to the id badge they probably already have would
be a nice solution as well).

Just a little more fuel for the fire...

Jason
