ENSURE TECHNOLOGIES ADDRESSES HIPAA CONFIDENTIALITY REQUIREMENTS AT HIMSS09
Ensure Technologies’ XyLoc products uniquely address the need for patient
record security while making access faster and more convenient for the user.
YPSILANTI, MI - April 2, 2009 – Ensure Technologies, creator of the XyLoc
family of products, focuses on providing intelligent access control solutions for
healthcare. The upcoming 2009 HIMSS Conference
& Exhibition held April 5-8 in Chicago, Illinois, is recognized as one of
the premier conferences in the healthcare industry. HIMSS09 attracts approximately
30,000 healthcare professionals across the globe for this annual meeting.
Ensure Technologies will be demonstrating XyLoc products in booth #7389 in the
HIMSS exhibit hall. XyLoc products address the healthcare clinician’s need for
fast, convenient access to their workstations while ensuring the privacy of patient
medical data with walk-away security. XyLoc recognizes and quickly logs on authorized
users as they approach their workstation, and automatically secures the workstation
as the user walks away.
“XyLoc remains the only viable solution in the market to protect confidential
patient medical data through walk-away security”, stated John Dunlap, President
and CEO of Ensure Technologies. “Other solutions, such as passive RF, fingerprint
readers and smart cards, can be used to authenticate users, but these technologies
cannot detect when the clinician has walked away from the workstation, potentially
leaving confidential information exposed to anyone who walks by the workstation.”
Dunlap added, “We remain committed to meeting the needs of our healthcare customers.
In 2009, Ensure Technologies will be introducing a new generation of products, expanding
the solutions we can provide for walk-away security, as well as personnel and asset
location.”
HIMSS09 exhibit hall attendees have the opportunity to view XyLoc in action in many
of Ensure Technologies’ partner booths, including Cherry Electrical Products,
Citrix, Epic Systems, Flo Healthcare, Imprivata, Key Source International, Passlogix,
and VMware/Pano Logic. These demonstrations illustrate the flexibility of XyLoc for use
in almost any healthcare environment to protect the confidentiality of patent records.
