Badge tap sign-in to Meditech Expanse on shared handsets

Clinicians at two sites can tap their badge to get into Meditech Expanse on a shared handset. We set it up across the device configuration, the sign-in and Expanse itself.

Diagram: a badge, then a handset, then sign-in, then Meditech Expanse, as one chain. Device configuration, sign-in and Expanse are marked as three separate owners along it.

The idea

A shared handset gets passed from person to person, so typing a username and password every time is slow. Badge tap makes it a single tap.

What we did

We set up the handsets, the sign-in and Expanse so they work together. That’s the part that can get missed on a mobile project, because the device team and the application team each own half of it.

Where it stands
