Registering an Organization or Subscribers

What makes a good OneHealthPort administrator?	Each organization needs to appoint an administrator to manage their OneHealthPort account. Here are some guidelines to help you choose an administrator. The person should: Be very trustworthy and responsible. Be in a position to confirm the identity of other employees. Have secure online access. Be willing to assist other employees with registration and password resets. Be willing to nominate new users and suspend users who have left the organization as needed.
What are the responsibilities of a OneHealthPort administrator?	As a OneHealthPort administrator, you will: Enroll your organization in OneHealthPort and manage your organization's OneHealthPort account. Nominate individuals within your organization to become OneHealthPort subscribers, and manage individual subscribers' accounts. Your OneHealthPort credential gives you access to web sites containing sensitive healthcare information. To protect the privacy and confidentiality of personal health information, and to protect your organization, it is important to properly register you and confirm your identity.
How do I register to use OneHealthPort?	In order to use OneHealthPort, you must be affiliated with a registered organization. If your organization is already registered, you need to contact the person serving as your organization's "administrator," who is the person within your organization who sets up and maintains your OneHealthPort account. Once you locate your administrator, request that they nominate you to be a subscriber. As a subscriber, you have certain responsibilities to protect the information you access. Go to subscriber agreement form to view a sample of the agreement each subscriber must accept in order to use OneHealthPort. If your organization has not yet registered, you can use OneHealthPort's automated organization registration wizard to register (available at https://saml.onehealthport.com/TACS-AG/orgRegNotice.do). Please note that all organizations will need to enter into a trust agreement and therefore you must have "signing" authority to register your organization. Each organization is required to agree to terms and conditions of OneHealthPort use before registration can be complete. Go to organization agreement form to view the organization agreement. If you experience difficulties, contact OneHealthPort Support by calling 1-800-973-4797 (toll free).
What if I don't know whether my organization is registered yet or who my administrator is?	Contact our help desk for assistance in determining if your organization is already registered with us by calling 1-800-973-4797 (toll free).
How do I register my organization to use OneHealthPort?	You can register your organization via OneHealthPort's secure web site. Just go to https://saml.onehealthport.com/TACS-AG/orgRegNotice.do and follow the simple registration steps.

To be nominated as a subscriber, contact your organization's "administrator," who is the person within your organization who maintains your OneHealthPort account. Once you locate your administrator, request that they nominate you to be a user. You will then receive a user ID and instructions on how to register as a OneHealthPort subscriber. The administrator will give you a one-time activation code to complete your registration.
Do I need a social security number to register as a subscriber?	You can register with OneHealthPort with or without a social security number by having your identity verified by a notary public. Your organization will need to vouch for your identity. You will be required to prove your identity with a notary. Go to notary instruction form to find out more about using a notary.
What if I do not want to provide "private information" online?	You will need to talk to your organization's administrator regarding how to verify your identity. He or she can put you in touch with a notary to confirm your identity. The private information that we request is held in the strictest of confidence and in compliance with our privacy policy and is only used to help us to ensure your identity.

Browser Second Factor

Would you rather watch a video to find out about Browser Second Factors?	Use this quick link to view an OneHealthPort Tutorial on Browser Second Factors
What is Browser Second Factor?	Browser Second Factor is a new online security feature from OneHealthPort that provides additional protection against lost or stolen passwords resulting in unwanted access to personal health information and your organization's billing or other private information. OneHealthPort is offering Browser Second Factor to participating sites that are looking for enhanced security as a part of their HIPAA security strategy.
Why do I need to use Browser Second Factor?	Browser Second Factor will allow us to recognize you as the true owner of your account by recognizing not only your login information but also your computer. If we don't recognize your computer, we will request additional information that is known only by you.
How does Browser Second Factor work?	You will need to add extra security to each computer that you use when accessing OneHealthPort sites that require Browser Second Factor. This can be done easily from the Provision Browser Second Factor option on the Subscriber Administration page at: Click Here. Whenever you login from a computer you have added extra security to, you will automatically have additional protection, and will notice no difference in the way you login. However if you login from a different computer than the one you added security to, you will be asked for additional information in order to login. Please note that if you use multiple browsers within the same computer you will need to add extra security to each browser separately. In order to do this you will need to log in with each browser and go through the steps to add extra security protection.
How do you recognize my computer?	When you add extra security to your computer, a secure cookie is placed on your computer. This secure cookie is unique, and when used in combination with your login information, creates a unique way to identify you to the OneHealthPort system. For every login attempt after you add extra security to one computer, this secure cookie is validated along with the login identification you normally enter. This secure cookie is only used by OneHealthPort to validate your identity and does not contain any personal information.
What will adding extra security protection do for me?	Adding extra security protection to your computer allows us to recognize your computer along with your normal login information, which helps give you additional protection from unauthorized access to your accounts. If someone were to get your login information and try to access your account from their computer, they would not be able to gain access to the site because they would be asked for information that only you know.
Why am I asked for Browser Second Factor only at some OneHealthPort sites?	OneHealthPort is making Browser Second Factor available for any participating site that wishes to enhance their login security. This is an optional way to increase security and each site will evaluate when or if they wish to require this extra login security at their site.
What can I do to make logging in easy?	To make it easy to login to OneHealthPort sites that require Browser Second Factor, we recommend that you add extra security protection to each computer that you regularly use. Remember that until you add extra security to a computer, we will ask you for additional information that only you can answer before giving you access to the site. You will then have the option to add extra security to that computer, and avoid being asked for this extra information again.
How does Browser Second Factor protect me?	Browser Second Factor allows us to know that it's really you logging into your account. We know it's you because we recognize your computer AND your login information. If we do not recognize your computer, then you will be asked for additional information that is known only by you.
Can I login from multiple computers and browsers?	Yes, you can login from as many different computers and browsers as you like. If you login from a computer that you haven't added extra security to, you will be asked for additional information so that we can verify that it's really you. You will then have the option to add extra security to that computer, and avoid being asked for this extra information again. Please note that if you use multiple browsers within the same computer you will need to enroll each browser separately.
Can I still login to my account from anywhere?	Yes, the Browser Second Factor security feature does not prevent you from logging in from any computer. If we do not recognize the computer that you are using, we will simply ask for additional information that only you know before allowing you access the site. You can select the "temporary" cookie option for computers you do not plan to use more than once.
Why do I keep getting asked for extra information when I login from a computer that I have already added extra security to?	This is probably happening because the secure cookie that was placed in your browser is getting deleted or you selected the "temporary cookie" option. Some computers are set up to regularly delete cookies. Deleting cookies is a common method that Spyware blocker software uses to remove potentially risky items from your computer. These solutions typically remove ALL cookies as a precaution, even though very few cookies are actually security risks. In order to use the OneHealthPort Browser Second Factor security feature without being asked for additional information at each login, the secure cookie that we use to identify your computer must stay within your browser. We recommend that you do not delete these cookies to avoid being asked for additional information at each login. If your company regularly deletes cookies, we recommend that you select the Browser Certificate option. This option installs a certificate on your computer which is not cleared like cookies can be.
What if I delete my cookies regularly?	If you delete your cookies regularly and do not want to be asked for additional information at each login, we recommend that you select the Browser Certificate option. This option installs a certificate on your computer which is not cleared like cookies can be.
I share my computer with someone who also uses OneHealthPort. Can both of us still login from the same computer?	Yes. You can use the same computer to safely login to your individual accounts; you will not be able to access each other's information. This is because your secure cookie is linked to your User ID and Password. There is no limit as to how many secure cookies can be installed on the same computer. Just remember to never share your User ID or Password with anyone.
What if a user leaves the organization, how do we delete their cookies or certificates?	The OneHealthPort administrator for your organization can suspend the user account and this will disable that users access from any computer. This is the most critical step in disabling a user account since this prevents all acess by that user regardless of the PC they use. The individual PCs can be cleared of Browser Cookies by clearing that users browser cookie cache on any PC they stored cookies. Certificates usually require someone with administrator rights on the PC to clear a retired certificate.

Duplicate Check Edits

I get a message on the last step of registration that says "Duplicate Found" What do I do now?	If the TaxID you are attempting to register is already registered, the system is designed to alert you and ask you to contact OneHealthPort so we can determine the best way to assist you.
Why would my TaxID already be in the system?	There are a number of reasons your TaxID may already be registered. Someone else in your organization may have already registered the organization. A company you work with closely (a billing service or management company) may have registered on your behalf. Someone may have mistakenly registered your TaxID because their number is close to yours.
What do I do if I can't complete registration because it says my organization may already be affiliated with OneHealthPort?	Contact OneHealthPort by calling 1-206-624-3128 ext 412 See next questions for specifics.
What if the TaxID already in the OneHealthPort system is affiliated with an organization name that is the same as mine (e.g., someone within my organization)?	OHP will give you the administrator's name and contact information so you can contact them to register you.
What if the TaxID already in the OneHealthPort system is affiliated with an organization name that is different than mine (e.g., with a billing service)?	OHP will give you the registered company's name and the administrator's name and contact information so you can contact them to register you or release your TaxID so you can register it.
What if the TaxID already in the OneHealthPort system is affiliated with an organization name that is the same as mine (e.g., someone within my organization), but the administrator identified is no longer with the company?	OHP will check to see if there are other administrators in the organization or other active users that could be promoted to an administrator and review what is needed to do that. If there are no other active users, OHP will review steps needed to free the TaxID so the company can re-register and appoint a new administrator.
What if another organization has registered my TaxID and I don’t know who they are?	OHP will give you the registered company's name and the administrator's name and contact information so you can talk with the company to determine if they have a legitimate use of your TaxID or if they registered it in error. If it is an error, their OneHealthPort administrator can remove your TaxID by faxing a letterhead request to OHP ofices. Once this is completed, you can return to register your organization.
What if there is an organization that has my TaxID, I don’t think it should and the administrator from this organization won’t make the change?	Contact OHP and we will investigate and work to resolve the problem between the two organizations.

What to do if your administrator leaves

Our administartor left and we need to nominate some new users. What do we do now?

If you have other active OneHealthPort users, you can request that one of those users be promoted to the Administrator role. That person can nominate new users and promote a user to administrator if needed. Send a Letterhead fax to OneHealthPort business offices at 1-206-624-3168. Include on the Fax: Name and address of the organization Name and the UserID of the person you wish to have promoted A phone number or email contact if OneHealthPort has additional questions Someone in authority (other than the person being promoted) must sign the fax request.

What if there are no other OneHealthPort users in our organization?

You will need to re-register your organization with a new administrator. To avoid hitting a Duplicate TIN error you must do the following before you re-register your organization: Send a Letterhead fax to OneHealthPort business offices at 1-206-624-3168. Include on the Fax: Name and address of the organization An explanationn that your administrator is no longer with the organization. Name of the administrator who is no longer available. TaxID you need to have released so you can re-register your organization. A phone number or email contact if OneHealthPort has additional questions Someone in authority must sign the fax request.

Passwords, User IDs and Secret Questions

How do I select a password for myself? What are the restrictions?	When choosing your password, remember that you are responsible for remembering your password and you are also responsible for NOT sharing it with anyone or putting it where it could be compromised. Passwords are very serious business. Here are a list of password guidelines: Passwords must be at least 8 characters long. Passwords should be difficult for others to guess. Passwords must contain at least one upper case letter, one lower case letter and one number. No special characters accepted currently. Passwords are case sensitive. If you experience difficulties, contact OneHealthPort Support by calling 1-800-973-4797 (toll free).
How do I reset my password?	If you know your current password or can correctly answer your secret question, you can use the "password reset" function to change your current password. It can be accessed at https://saml.onehealthport.com/TACS-AG/subscriberLogin.do. If you forget your password and wish to reset it, you can do so by using the "password reset" function and correctly answering the secret question you established during the registration process. If you answer the secret question correctly, you will receive an email with your activation code. If you fail to correctly answer the secret question, then you must see your administrator for a new activation code to restore the account. Following these password reset processes, you will receive an email notifying you that your password was reset. This will be sent to the email address we have on file for you. If you experience difficulties, contact OneHealthPort Support by calling 1-800-973-4797 (toll free).
How do I retrieve my user ID if I have forgotten it?	Contact your organization's OneHealthPort administrator. He or she can retrieve your user ID for you. If you are the administrator and do not remember your UserID, contact the OneHealthPort Support Desk. The Support Desk will ask a series of questions to verify who you are ebfore they can provide your UserID.
What is a "secret question," and how do I set it up?	A secret question is used as an extra security feature that backs up your password in case you forget it. The easiest way to prove your identity if you forget your password is to correctly answer your secret question, however you do need to set it up in advance. Once you get a new password (or remember your old one), you can set up your secret question online at https://saml.onehealthport.com/TACS-AG/subscriberLogin.do. If you experience difficulties, contact OneHealthPort Support by calling 1-800-973-4797 (toll free).
Why do I need an ID and password in order to use OneHealthPort?	Because you are accessing secure, private health information. HIPPA requires that this type of information is secured. IDs and passwords are a proven method for doing this.
If I change my name, will my user ID change?	No, your user ID will stay the same.
Will my password ever expire?	OneHealthPort does not routinely expire passwords. However, we do suggest that you change your password whenever you have a concern it may have been used by someone else. OneHealthPort also recommends you change the password once a year as a safety precaution. Many of the sites will display the Last Login Date as another method to help you verify no one else is using your password. If you see your login has been used when you were not at work, you can initiate a password change at any time for yourself. In order to change your own password, use the "For Subscribers" Login from the "Manage Your Account" page and select the "change password" function.
I have the correct ID and/or password but am unable to use my subscriber account	It is possible that your credential was suspended, which could happen if the role and affiliation data were missing from your information or you tried too many times to log in unsuccessfully. If this were the case, your credential would still be valid, it would just be suspended. You need to contact your organization's administrator who can reinstate you by providing you with a new activation code. Your credential could be revoked, in which case you need to contact your organization's administrator. Your credential may be expired. You need to contact your organization's administrator to re-nominate you. If you are unsure about which of these is the issue, you can check to see if your credential is functioning properly by going to https://saml.onehealthport.com/TACS-AG/subscriberLogin.do. If you experience difficulties, contact OneHealthPort Support by calling 1-800-973-4797 (toll free).

Partner Services Questions

Why is OneHealthPort offering new services?	Many people in the health care community have asked OneHealthPort to extend the advantages of our trusted community and secure single-sign-on by offering additional business and clinical services.
How does offering these services support OneHealthPort's mission?	OneHealthPort uses secure portal technology to support and accelerate the exchange of business and clinical information within its trusted community. Initially, OneHealthPort concentrated on providing simplified and secure access to the web sites of major local health plans and hospitals. Now, using the same password, subscribers can also register for and access other services that simplify and improve work flow.
How does OneHealthPort select new services?	New services are selected based on the needs expressed by the local healthcare community. The first new services—E-prescribing, online laboratory & radiology results, and online claims submission—were offered in response to OneHealthPort's participation in a healthcare community survey process sponsored by the Washington Healthcare Forum. The "What's Possible Project" interviewed a variety of health plans, physicians, hospitals and other groups to gain a better understanding of how best to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Based on these suggestions, OneHealthPort focused on Internet based services that can be quickly and easily adopted at a low or no cost to the provider community.
What is OneHealthPort's responsibility when a provider registers for a service through OneHealthPort?	OneHealthPort's contract with the service provider facilitates access to our trusted community and obligates OneHealthPort to supply security and marketing support. The service provider agrees to operate according to the requirements of the trusted community. Providers who sign up for any of the new services will sign separate agreements with individual companies who provide the services.
Is there an additional fee for using OneHealthPort if I register for additional services?	Subscribing to OneHealthPort's security service is completely free to current and new subscribers. There is no cost for your digital ID. Some of the new additional services offered through OneHealthPort are free while others will require you to pay a fee. As we determine what types of services providers are interested in using, we will continue to add both free and fee-based options to OneHealthPort's site.
How can I offer suggestions to OneHealthPort about types of services that would be helpful to my practice?	We welcome your comments and suggestion. If you have ideas for other programs, please contact OneHealthPort's President Rick Rubin at Rubin@onehealthport.com.
