Strong and simple authentication for the health industry

The challenge

Databases in various information systems whether in hospitals, clinics and other heath service providers hold valuable personal  data which should be dealt with high level of security. In order to prevent the use of this data by unauthorized person, privilege systems are used, using userid and password as identifying method. Reality shows that this method is less than adequate in order to verify that the person is who he claims to be. Therefore higher level of authentication - Strong authentication (two factor) is required.  

One solution is popular in the health industry - a hardware solution: a unique hardware (token, code generator, etc.) which is used by a previously identified user and is distributed to VIP customers. 3 main disadvantages:

1. Impose logistics administration: stock management, shipment, handle broken / malfunctioning equipment, etc.
2. Forces the user to remember to carry it with him anywhere and anytime. What happens if a Doctor wants to read patient file and the hardware is not with him or does not work properly?
3. Not suitable for the mass market. Can a health service provider distribute few millions units to his patients?
