ANDOVER, Mass., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Sentillion, Inc., the leading provider of identity and access management (IAM) solutions for the always-on healthcare industry, announced today that it has received its second patent (6,971,067) from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patented technology optimizes caregiver productivity by providing a unified, ever- present user interface for the uniform control of multiple software programs. It also serves as a building block of the company’s Vergence Launchpad(TM) product.
“We are pleased to receive our second U.S. patent, which further extends and protects our intellectual property and validates the uniqueness of our technology,” said Nancy Ham, president of Sentillion. “We look forward to announcing additional patent awards in the upcoming months and continuing to provide our customers with the advanced solutions that meet their IAM needs.”
In a busy clinical environment, caregivers need to be able to access electronic patient information quickly, often from multiple clinical applications. In many healthcare organizations, clinical workstation displays and configurations differ from machine to machine, confusing users and complicating the process of accessing applications. With Sentillion’s patented technology, caregivers can quickly launch multiple applications appropriate for their role from a single, centrally configured toolbar that looks the same and is operated consistently across all of an organization’s clinical desktops. In addition, when used in conjunction with other Sentillion modules, such as Vergence Context Manager, users can select a patient-of- interest once from a common control and in so doing automatically “tune” their applications to the patient-of-interest. As a result, caregivers can roam from workstation to workstation, as they often must do to perform their jobs, and never experience desktop inconsistencies that impede access to applications, such as rearranged icons, unfamiliar configurations, confusing menus, or disparate desktop controls.
“Our unique technology accelerates caregiver access to patient information and provides a consistent, easy-to-navigate display on all shared workstations,” said David Fusari, Sentillion’s chief technology officer, and a co-inventor of the patented innovation. “Healthcare organizations leveraging this technology are able to improve productivity, caregiver satisfaction, system usage and clinical efficiency.”
Sentillion’s identity and access management products help healthcare provider organizations meet their urgent need for patient safety and privacy, streamlined workflows, regulatory compliance, and protection of data and information sources. Sentillion’s Vergence product suite enables organizations to know who their users are -- identity management -- and to help them be productive while ensuring system security and guarding patient confidentiality -- access management.
