Why OLOID for Epic?

Epic workflows demand fast access and rigorous security. OLOID delivers both with Tap & Login proximity‑badge and biometric authentication that is deeply embedded in Epic Hyperspace, eliminating password friction while meeting the strictest regulatory standards (HIPAA, DEA 21 CFR 1311)

Device-Independent Design

OLOID currently focuses on workstation‑centric authentication. Mobile push approvals and SMS-based flows are intentionally excluded to minimize device‑dependency and protect PHI outside the hospital perimeter

Key Capabilities

Capability How it works in Epic What it means for clinicians & IT
Tap & Login workstation access Badge-tap or face recognition instantly unlocks Epic and Windows/Citrix sessions < 2 seconds to sign in; no shared passwords
DEA-compliant EPCS Dual-factor badge + face recognition (or badge + PIN) to sign controlled-substance orders Eliminates hard-tokens while passing every DEA audit
40+ built-in Epic signing contexts OLOID injects its authentication dialog directly into Epic screens; only approved factors are shown Zero workflow disruption; one consistent user experience
Context-aware policy engine Rules by role, location, workstation type, or time of day Enforces security without over-prompting
Audit & reporting Immutable logs of who authenticated, when, on which workstation, and for what action Simplifies internal audits and external compliance reviews
Hands-free desktop flow Face recognition validates user; OLOID automatically supplies the second factor via on-camera cryptographic token Faster than manual code entry, yet still DEA-compliant

How the OLOID EPCS Flow Works

  1. Order Initiation

    Provider selects a controlled substance in Epic

  2. Dual‑Factor Prompt

    Epic invokes OLOID; provider taps badge and looks at camera (or enters PIN)

  3. Cryptographic Signing

    OLOID validates both factors, and securely Authenticates user in to Epic using Epic SDK

  4. Audit Trail

    Event is written to OLOID and Epic logs with DEA‑required metadata
