The Challenge

IT department for Fraser Health wanted to implement two-factor authentication to ensure patients' privacy at the new emergency department at Surrey Memorial Hospital. This facility would be unique in that every room would be a private room, including emergency rooms.

The Solution

IT department chose Gemalto’s IDPrime smart cards, for security reasons and to improve overall efficiency and convenience for busy healthcare employees as they move from patient rooms to floor stations, to physician lounges. With the IDPrime smart cards, physicians can’t leave a computing device with an open session. Unlike other options, the Gemalto solution closes a session on the terminal as soon as the credential is removed from the reader.
