As a mental health, community health and social care organization MPFT\u2019s health and care professionals work mostly in the community, sometimes many miles from \u2018base\u2019. And although the trust has an extensive library of journals and other resources, most of which are online, users had to remember a separate password to log in to access them. Frustrating for them \u2013 and time-wasting for library staff who had to help resolve difficulties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
As part of a trust-wide digital transformation program the library asked the digital services team for a single sign-on solution to improve security, simplify access and so improve user experience and patient care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Digital service development manager Kevin Pugh wanted a solution that was easy to implement and didn\u2019t need another server or the costs that would come with it. Like many NHS organizations MPFT\u2019s cloud platform is Microsoft Azure. Kevin realized that, like many public cloud platforms, Azure makes it easy to deploy OpenAthens as an Azure enterprise application with Azure Active Directory integration and enable single sign-on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
