In 12 months, we have been able to deliver a single sign-on solution across the entire trust. For those delivering care this has been a leap in both clinical safety and efficiency that, in their words, they ‘dreamed of’.”
The trust has 14,000 staff enrolled in single sign-on across 4 hospitals sites, with over 60 clinical applications is use and it has developed strong benefit materials to share with other trusts. The trust is also planning a Secure Walkaway trial, which will make LTH the first in the UK using this new solution which is yet to be released.
