I came across a product that allows 'hot-swapping' of clinicians with next to no time delay called 'Imprivata one-sign' This allows clinicians to use the smart card to hot swap profiles and also single-sign them into all their applications saving masses of time and effort. Take a look at www.imprivata.com although this does not stop users sharing cards and pin numbers it does cut the time considerably which negates the need for them to share!

However, I must simply trust the system to respect this preference and, frankly, I don't. Therefore, I must conclude that I am, at this moment, probably being data raped by untracable multi-faced bureaucrats. I took responsibility myself, and opted out of the upload.
