CHART LINKS TO INTEGRATE PISTOLSTAR’S AUTHENTICATION SECURITY SOLUTION WITH THERAPY SOFTWARE

Integration of Password Authentication and Security Solution with Outpatient Rehabilitation Software Will Allow Chart Links’ Customers to Strengthen Authentication Processes by Providing Self-Service Password Management to End-Users and Functionality Administrators Need to Meet Security Initiatives

Amherst, NH and New Haven, CT – August 19, 2008 – Chart Links LLC, a provider of outpatient medical rehabilitation software, and PistolStar, Inc., provider of password management solutions integrating Microsoft Active Directory®, enterprise single sign-on and stronger authentication, today announces plans to integrate PistolStar’s Password Power 8 Web Set Password Plug-In with Chart Links’ product.  The browser-based password authentication and security solution will help Chart Links’ physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology and audiology customers to better protect patient information by more strictly securing password authentication and management processes.

"Our first priority in automating password management for our customers is to ensure that they are able to meet or exceed facility and industry security initiatives," says Ron Miller, M.D., President and Chief Medical Officer of Chart Links.  "Next up, we want to simplify the user experience by allowing single password access to Windows®, LDAP and Chart Links applications.  Finally, we expect to dramatically reduce the volume of Help Desk calls regarding password resets." 

Chart Links Rehabilitation Software is used in charting patient progress for medical rehabilitation. It handles the entire outpatient rehabilitation workflow including scheduling, insurance authorization, referral management, treatment documentation, charges, outcomes, reporting, and compliance.

"To enable Chart Links to provide its customers the means to secure access to sensitive data and meet the security requirements of HIPAA and other initiatives is gratifying," states Thomas Hoey, president and CEO at PistolStar, Inc.  "Web Set Password not only secures the authentication process, but increases productivity by allowing end-users to perform self-service password resets and eliminating the administrators’ burden of resetting forgotten passwords and managing multiple user accounts."

Web Set Password enhances security by providing stronger authentication features such as authentication with username, password and challenge question and answer to gain access; multiple challenge questions for self-service password reset and recovery; and configurable strike-out limits by person, group or hierarchy.  Securing access to critical data, Web Set Password 8 prevents multiple users from logging in with the same credentials, validates password strength during login, enables password expiration intervals, and restricts the frequency with which a previously used password can be re-used.
