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 >> >>> >>> One more question.
