ComputerProx Announces DocLok - The First Automated Workstation Locking Solution Tied to the Opening of a Door



The new DocLok automates examination room workstation locking

CHICAGO, Feb. 25 -- HIMSS 08 Annual Conference & Exhibition -- ComputerProx, the leader in post authentication and walk away security, today announced the newest addition to its walk away security line of products - the DocLok.

The DocLok is the first integrated solution that automates the locking of a workstation with the physical opening of a door. The DocLok was designed for the hospital or healthcare environment where physicians or staff frequently enter and leave examination rooms often leaving the workstation with patient information accessible. The DocLok solves this problem by locking the workstation as soon as the examination room door is opened, thus eliminating the possibility of confidential patient information being exposed.

The DocLok is a combination of a wireless door sensor and a USB receiver that detects when the examination room door is opened and transmits a signal to the receiver to automatically lock the workstation. "In the fast paced healthcare environment professionals have enough to concentrate on. Locking a workstation shouldn't be on their list," said Tom Crowley, Vice President of Business Development for ComputerProx. "The DocLok removes one more burden and helps them to focus on what is truly important - their patients."

Based on ComputerProx's KIT (Keyboard Interface Technology), the DocLok is identified by the operating system as a USB keyboard, making it software independent. When the examination room door is opened, the DocLok door sensor transmits a signal to the workstation receiver. The receiver, in turn, automatically enters the keystrokes that the user would type to lock the workstation. By automating the normal locking process, the DocLok is an easy to implement and non-intrusive solution that meets both security and HIPAA compliance.
