Breakthrough for secure mobile services in Swedish healthcare

Precise Biometrics smart card reader Tactivo™ has been approved for usage with
Swedish national healthcare system Pascal, a prescription tool for dose packaged
medicals used by nurses, doctors and midwives.
The solution with Tactivo provides swift and secure access to the prescription
tool Pascal from iPhone or iPad using SITHS-card login, an identification card
for Swedish care professionals. Pascal has over 50 000 users within the
municipalities and private careproviders for prescription of medicals
distributed in dosage bags.
”The approval of Tactivo for mobile access to Pascal is a breakthrough for
secure mobile services within Swedish healthcare and we are certain that more
care systems will follow this development. There are many situations where
mobile access to patient information can improve quality for both staff and
patients, and at the same time protect confidentiality through two-factor
authentication”, says Håkan Persson, CEO Precise Biometrics.
The mobile solution with Tactivo makes it possible for care providers to reduce
staff workload and implemement a more efficient way of working that provides
staff with access to accurate and secure information, independent of location.
"We have been waiting a long time to use Pascal on mobile devices in a secure
fashion. Thanks to Tactivo it is now possible for our staff to be more effective
in their work with the patients. We can increase our presence with the patients
not having to return to the office to update patient files on medication. This
solution also increases patient security as we always have access to accurate
information”, says Lise-Lotte Carlsson, system administrator, Kungsbacka
municipality.
Beside iPhone, iPad and Tactivo, the solution consists of the access service
Mobilt SITHS from Svensk e-identitet and the log-on application NetID from
SecMaker. As part of the approval process, Nordic Medtest has evaluated that the
solution follows security requirements for usage of patient data on mobile
devices.
Pascal is owned and administered by Inera, the Swedish county and regional e
-health company. The system is scheduled to be deployed on April 24, when it
will become accessible for all Pascal users. For more information about Pascal
