Carefx Fusion Context Manager
Features and Benefits
In the healthcare industry, dozens of people—including physicians, nurses, technicians, billing clerks and insurance personnel—need quick, consolidated access to patient records in order to provide optimal care. Although easy and convenient, this access must also be secure and audited to fully comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations. Carefx Fusion Context Manager* delivers this functionality: it provides a quick-login, easy-transition solution that enables clinical users to uniquely authenticate and swiftly access patient information.
To provide simple but secure access to patient records and information, Novell® and Carefx combine enterprise-wide single sign-on with context management for Health Level Seven (HL-7) Clinical Context Object Workgroup (CCOW) applications. Carefx Fusion Context Manager works with Novell SecureLogin and Novell eDirectory™ to create this comprehensive solution. Through a single login, authorized users gain access to all the applications and patient data they need to do their jobs. And with all relevant CCOW information presented instantly, according to clinical context (patient or a particular patient encounter, clinician, or other clinical subject, etc.), users can attend to their patients more quickly than before.
improve the end-user experience
Time matters—especially in the healthcare industry. Carefx Fusion Context Manager delivers single sign-on access to all CCOW-enabled applications, while Novell SecureLogin supplies it to all non-CCOW applications. Together, these technologies ensure that users only log in once. Clinicians can access all of the applications and data they are authorized to view, without spending excess time logging in and out of various programs.
Carefx Fusion Context Manager also eliminates long, unproductive searches. It automatically directs users to the exact patient, subject or encounter data they need—in all CCOW-enabled applications. As a result, clinicians have immediate access to relevant information and can improve the speed and quality of patient care.
