 with pharmacies, the hospitals of the Cleveland Clinic Health System -- Western Region are subject to a new regulation from the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy requiring positive identification of users. The Cleveland Clinic Health System - Western Region will use XyLoc MD to provide proximity-based authentication and full-time access control in the pharmacy departments of its Fairview, Lakewood and Lutheran Hospitals.

"The positive ID requirements presented us with an interesting challenge since the regulation doesn't specify exactly how to achieve compliance," said Michael Hoying, R.Ph., M.S., director of the pharmacy at Fairview and Lutheran Hospitals. "Our previous process was very paper-intensive, and we determined that our pharmacy systems did not provide us a manual process to implement positive identification with regards to all aspects of the "Practice of Pharmacy" as defined by the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy. XyLoc MD simplifies pharmacy management and provides us with positive ID into our PCs, Siemens pharmacy system and other applications. It also provides a more efficient process for record keeping and auditing."

"The Cleveland Clinic Health System - Western Region is another great example of how our customers are using XyLoc MD not just for regulatory compliance but to achieve process and workflow improvements," said Dr. Thomas Xydis, president of Ensure. "XyLoc MD not only reduces users' PC security obligations and concerns, it streamlines users' interactions with PCs and applications."
