ANDOVER, Mass., July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Summa Health System, a major healthcare network that serves a five county region in northeast Ohio, has gone live with Sentillion's single sign-on (SSO) and context management solutions and is systematically rolling it out to more than 4,000 caregivers. Summa Health System selected Sentillion's Vergence(R) clinical workstation solution, which includes SSO, advanced authentication and context management, to help manage secure access to its network while giving clinicians instant access to all the applications they need to make clinical decisions.

At Summa Health System its primary health information system, Eclipsys SCM, along with other key clinical applications are distributed to caregivers via a Citrix published application strategy. Sentillion's expertise and success with this mixture of technology was one of the primary reasons it was selected by Summa Health System.

In addition, as Summa Health System computerized its patient records it found that electronic data spread across multiple clinical applications was not able to be accessed by physicians and nurses as efficiently as possible. Prior to implementing Sentillion's clinical workstation solution, caregivers used multiple passwords to access and locate the patient's record in each application.

"SSO and context management enabled us to create a quick win with our caregivers as we were able to both simplify their workflow by speeding access to multiple applications and enable them to better manage patient data," said Greg Kall, CIO for Summa Health System. "In addition, Sentillion's close partnership with Eclipsys, our primary health information system vendor, significantly enhanced our ability to roll out the solutions within our specified timeframe and budget."

Today, when a Summa Health System caregiver provides their username and password, they are quickly
