Single-Sign-On Live at U-M

HDM Breaking News, December 19, 2006

The University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor has completed enterprisewide implementation of single-sign-on software.

The project covered 19,000 users of 12,000 desktop and 3,000 laptop computers across three hospitals, 30 health centers and 120 outpatient clinics. The Vergence software from Andover, Mass.-based Sentillion Inc. enables a user to access patient data from multiple information systems after logging onto U-M Health System’s core clinical and hospital information systems.

A primary goal of using single-sign-on technology was to ease and encourage adoption of computerized physician order entry software, which is a module of the core clinical information system. For more information, see sentillion.com.
