Workstations are critical gateways to sensitive data, but security shouldn’t come at the cost of efficiency. Learn three best practices that balance strong protection with seamless user access across shared and remote environments.

Integration will streamline and strengthen patient identification at all points of care, which improves PHI security, reduces duplicate medical records, and minimizes costs of denied or fraudulent claims

Shared-use mobile devices are delivering millions in savings to healthcare systems, but a lack of formal management policies is eroding their full value, according to the 2025 Imprivata State of Shared Mobile Devices in Healthcare: Insights, Risks, and Solutions Report.

As healthcare systems face mounting cyber threats targeting their most sensitive accounts, many are still struggling to close critical access gaps. In fact, only 36% of health IT leaders say their organizations have a privileged access strategy that’s consistently applied enterprise-wide, according to data from Imprivata and the Ponemon Institute.

Shared-use mobile devices are transforming care delivery across Australia’s hospitals, offering clinicians faster access to patient information and driving significant cost efficiencies. Imprivata research reveals that Australian hospitals could save an average of A$1.2 million annually through shared mobile device programs.

As U.S. healthcare systems push toward data interoperability, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is advancing a new framework to simplify information exchange between patients and providers.

Healthcare organizations are facing pressure. The Association of American Medical Colleges projects a shortage of more than 85,000 primary care physicians by 2036, leaving clinicians to support growing patient demands with fewer resources. The result is alarming: burnout rates among nurses continue to climb, with more than 65% reporting high stress.

As Zero Trust architecture becomes the framework for most modern cybersecurity strategies, many overlook a critical vulnerability: vendor access. Only 36% of health IT leaders say their organizations have a privileged access strategy applied consistently enterprise-wide, according to data from Imprivata and the Ponemon Institute.

Passwords remain one of the weakest links in cybersecurity. According to Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, 80% of breaches stem from compromised credentials.
