Accessing Connect Care From Your Own Computer 

Connect Care is located on secure servers within the AHS network. The same rigorous security structures used to secure access to the patient care version of Connect Care are applied to the training version. 

To access these servers, you will have to be provided with Remote User Network Access (RUNA). This access allows individuals to authenticate the AHS network from their own computer located outside of an AHS facility.

This access is sometimes referred to as RSA, RUNA, SecurID, or Remote Access; these terms are interchangeable and all relate to the ability to access Connect Care, and related applications, when located outside of AHS. 

How Remote Access Works

Remote access is how AHS ensures that only authorized users can access Connect Care. This is done by requiring you to provide a unique code number when logging in. This code comes from an application installed on your smartphone. Because the code is unique to each person and is constantly changing, it helps ensure that only authorized people can access Connect Care.

The code generated from the smartphone application is based on:
