A medical facility environment includes medical devices, single-sign on system devices, and an identity access management system (IAMS). A clinician logs into an electronic medical record system and/or facility workstation, typically at the start of a shift. Successful login opens a valid user session with the IAMS. Thereafter, clinicians having valid user sessions can record, save, and/or transmit patient vital signs by providing, only, a clinician identifier associated with the valid user session.

Medical environment single sign-on system

A method for extending a functionality of a computing device programmed to obtain physiological measurements from a patient includes: registering, at the computing device, a plug-in module, the plug-in module providing additional functionality for the computing device; using the plug-in module to communicate with a medical device; commanding the medical device to obtain physiological information from a patient; receiving data associated with the physiological information from the medical device; and transferring the data to a central repository.
