Abstract
Strict security measures against information leakage are required because the electronic medical record PC terminals store important health information data. Therefore, it is preferable to use a multi-factor authentication method in which users are granted access only after successfully presenting two or more factors to an authentication system: knowledge, possession, and inherence. The time required for these authentication processing is extremely stressful for medical ward staff who frequently log in/log off the electronic medical records. The aim of this study was to develop a proximity authentication system that enables quick two-factor authentication by combining a BLE device and vein authentication. To evaluate the effectiveness of proximity authentication system, the time required for authentication processing was compared between electronic medical record terminals with and without a prototype of a proximity authentication system at medical institutions. The results showed that the mean length of time before the screen startup for electronic medical record terminals with and without a proximity authentication system was 5.89 and 12.28 s, respectively (p < 0.01). The proximity authentication system reduces the time required for authentication for access to electronic medical records and improves medical service efficiency.
