What is it with clinicians and passwords? Ours are the same. Ask them to
remember a single password and they get all sniffy and complain that they
have better things to do. If they can't remember a simple password (one they
choose themselves) I'm pretty sure I don't want them looking after my
health.

I like your angle, you need an angle in this argument of IT security vs.
clinician ease-of-use, and you have one that just might work.  If I can
promise users their own individually profiled sessions that can start on a
thin client, be resumed from another thin client or even a pc, I might just
be able to get away with telling them they have to actually enter a
password.  I'll check it out.

Thank you,

We achieved our "win" by promising individually profiled, thin desktops
whose sessions are resumable from hospital, clinic, or office PC (or
Macintosh). 

"You mean I can swipe my badge and enter my password from any kiosk and see
MY desktop, with MY shortcuts, MY preferances and if I do it within an hour
of when I disconnected I can resume my work right where I left off?"  In
that context entering a password was the key to Nirvana and a small price to
pay.

Our SSO solution is eXactAccess from Healthcast (
