University of Iowa Hospitals has been a long-time customer of Bio-key, which provides user authentication and management products. PortalGuard will complement other Bio-key tools by adding single sign-on capabilities into the health system’s EHR, according to a June 8 Bio-key news release.
The University of Iowa is looking to add the new tool as it moves to Epic Hyperdrive before the November 2023 deadline.
“Our customers require the security and convenience of Bio-key’s unique identity-bound biometrics capabilities to create a long-lasting, personalized biometric authentication experience that users prefer over phones or tokens,” Mark Cochran, president of Bio-key PortalGuard, said in the release. “We all know that shared workstations are common in healthcare, yet most competitive solutions do not address them effectively, resulting in potential vulnerabilities due to token or card sharing for the sake of expediency.”
