MINNEAPOLIS--()--Twin Cities Orthopedics (TCO), one of the largest orthopedic practices in the U.S., announced today that they have selected Indigo Identityware™’s physician office product, Indigo MD, as their enterprise solution for secure identity management and single sign-on (SSO).
TCO, like all healthcare providers, needed a solution that speeds their workflow, allows them to focus on patients and mitigates an innumerable number of passwords that allow them access to their patients’ information. Indigo provided that solution. Indigo MD is intuitive software that works the way physicians and their staff want to work. At the touch of a finger, it opens applications as well as permits physicians to sign charts and authorize prescriptions electronically. Indigo MD saves time and money and allows the provider’s focus to be on patient care.
Prior to TCO’s implementation of Indigo MD, each doctor and nurse had to type in a username and password for every application they accessed during a patient visit, including the patient’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and/or other programs such as imaging and laboratory results. Now, with the use of a biometric device and Indigo’s Identityware, the staff at TCO no longer needs to remember cumbersome usernames and passwords. They simply touch their finger on the biometric reader to open their applications.
“This product met both our security and workflow needs. It works the way I want it to work, meets HIPAA regulations and speeds up my workflow so I have more time to focus on my patients. I am able see two more patients per day when I’m in-clinic because of the time it has saved,” said Owen O’Neill, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon with TCO.
