PAST EVENT – REGISTER for Recorded Version - PKI and Digital Certificates in Life Sciences 
Digital Certificates and a Public Key Infrastructure have held the unfulfilled promise of providing companies with a single method for authentication, authorization, and encryption.  With the most recent changes in the Microsoft infrastructure, managing a PKI infrastructure has become as straightforward (and cost effective) as managing your Active Directory infrastructure.  Add to that the forthcoming regulatory changes from FDA and other bodies, the adoption of SAFE as a standard in the industry, and Digital Certificates start to make more sense. 

In this discussion we will look at: Managing Digital Certificates and PKI in a Healthcare or Life Sciences company. We will look at examples from an industry, Microsoft and the SAFE initiative. What your company can do to implement PKI and Digital Certificates.

Office Business Applications (OBA) in Healthcare

Health care industry is facing many challenges ranging from increasing costs to inflexible and brittle applications. Industry is looking for ways to control costs and improve care and overall patient health. Technology can play a critical role in this area, provided it is right technology and deployed appropriately. Clinics and hospitals have many solutions either acquired or home grown, however most of these applications function well and serve their purpose in fixed silos. There is little to no integration between them, resulting in errors and duplication of information. In addition these applications are brittle and do adapt to the changes in the process.

Some of these applications force physician’s to change their process to follow the process dictated by the application and not the other way around. To build an application that is flexible enough to meet the changing processes at a physician’s office or is easy to integrate with requires a platform that comes with certain core capabilities. Microsoft’s Office 2007 platform is no longer a bunch of word processing applications, but rather has evolved into a complete business application platform.
