To help streamline workflows for healthcare organizations who use Epic Community Connect, Imprivata developed Imprivata for Community Connect (ICC), making the process of authenticating into the EHR platform easier and more secure for clinicians while also remaining DEA compliant for electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS).

In an effort to reduce COVID-19 infections, hospitals are implementing strict visitation policies preventing any family members, friends, or other loved ones from physically visiting patients in the hospital. These policies often leave patients – many of whom are acutely ill and forced to remain inpatient for long periods of time – completely isolated. Imprivata is helping these patients stay connected with their families and loved ones during their hospital stay.

Telehealth lets hospitals limit physical provider contact with COVID-19 patients, while still allowing for high quality virtual care – a critical element in reducing exposure and flattening the curve. This saves resources and clinician time as they work to keep up with new patient inflow. Imprivata is helping hospitals use iPads to conduct on-site telehealth sessions and manage interactions with patients kept in isolation.
