NEW YORK — Health Quest, a healthcare group of hospitals and other facilities, is in the midst of a multi-year project to create a unified identity management system.
Health Quest worked with technology provider Identropy to integrate its HID-based physical-access control identity badge system into the logical-access controls so that the badges can also be used for computer authentication, Network World reports.
