Not in healthcare but we have a number of healthcare customers.

3 methods used (local LAN, Windows domain logon)
- Password: Minumum 12 characters; must have at least 3 of: Upper case
letter; lower case letter; number; spacial character
- Fingerprint (swipe finger)
- Chip /smart card

Password always works. The fingerprint needs to be set up on each
laptop, and the smart card thing is only supported with the correct
hardware.
