In health care, perhaps even more than in other industries, it is a necessity that networks and applications are accessed only by authorized employees and caregivers. But, health care facilities are busy places, and finding ways to streamline access without compromising security can be a challenge. This white paper demonstrates how single sign-on technology can fortify your health care organization’s overall security posture while ensuring that you’re ready if and when an audit strikes.
George A. Gellert MD, MPH, MPA, is an epidemiologist focused on using information technology to improve public health outcomes. In this blog he discusses the findings from his recent research collaboration with Imprivata, just published in the peer reviewed journal Advances in Health Information Science and Practice (AHISP), the official journal of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), on the impact and value of single sign-on and access management in hospitals in the UK and Ireland.
Shared mobile devices are essential for modern healthcare. Peer-reviewed evidence and new Imprivata data reveal how to make them work their best – friction-free, securely, scale.
The era of shared mobile devices in healthcare has arrived, and the question is no longer whether they add value, but how to manage them to maximize that value and boost ROI.
