Ask HN: Authentication for Emergency Department

by jph on 3/20/25, 12:25 PM with 0 comments

If you know about authentication, I'm seeking your advice please about how to do it better, safer, and faster.

The goal is for a triage clinician to get to a patient and immediately authenticate with a medical cart computer system. This software architecture decision record (link below, work in progress) explains more about the tradeoffs, examples, and needs.

Advice and guidance is much appreciated, and I'll share anything I learn. My direct email is joel.henderson@wales.nhs.uk.
