Abstract
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.
