Imprivata OneSign Transforms Workflows by Enabling Fast, Secure Access to Clinical Applications, Saving Up to 45 Minutes per Provider, per Shift

The 2015 winner in the category of Workflow Enhancement is Imprivata, Inc., the healthcare IT security company, based in Lexington, Massachusetts.  Omar Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata, spoke with Healthcare Informatics about the importance of provider productivity, why Imprivata’s mission is to never lose a customer, and the challenges of creating meaningful systems in an ever-changing industry.

Administrative tasks have always been a burden to health providers. In fact, according to a study by Health Affairs, administrative costs accounted for 25.3 percent of all hospital spending in the U.S. in 2014. However, until recently, physicians were able to delegate many of their administrative responsibilities to other staff members in order to focus on patient care. This is beginning to change.

The number of server-hosted virtual desktops in healthcare is up 39% compared to last year, and server-based computing is up 23%. Furthermore, 30% of 211 IT leaders responding to a survey from Imprivata indicated that they are using cloud computing today, up from 9% at this time last year.
