Imprivata launches healthcare division
2 March 2010
IT security company Imprivata, Inc. has launched its Global
Healthcare Division, which it says reinforces its commitment to help
hospitals make patient data easily accessible throughout clinical
workflows, enforce patient privacy and deploy transparent security.
The company’s products are used in more than 500 hospitals in 12
countries. Imprivata OneSign, Imprivata’s flagship solution, provides
healthcare organizations with rapid single sign-on and strong
authentication for leading HIS vendors, including Cerner, Epic,
Healthland, McKesson, Meditech, Siemens Medical, as well as all other
types of application. Customers in the UK include Oxford Radcliffe
Hospitals NHS Trust.
“Healthcare organizations are facing a confluence of trends and
regulations that are driving change across the entire industry, however
providing optimum patient care remains the constant priority,” said Omar
Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata. “Built upon nearly a decade of
healthcare industry experience, Imprivata’s Global Healthcare Division
is focused on quickly delivering innovations to a fast-moving market.
Imprivata is the strategic choice for hospitals that demand seamless
patient information access across complicated clinical workflows while
ensuring patient privacy, compliance and new regulatory mandates.”
Imprivata’s Global Healthcare Division is committed to helping
hospitals and healthcare organizations improve patient outcomes by
simplifying and securing user access to patient health information. In
doing so, it empowers fast EMR access, enforces stringent patient
privacy policies and deploys transparent security.
“Facilitating clinical workflows without compromising security has
never been more challenging. With Imprivata’s authentication management
and SSO capabilities, we have fast access to patient health information
and we are able to make patient data usable throughout clinician
workflows — whether using a shared workstation or roaming across our
hospital. The result is a more efficient environment that leads to
improved quality of patient care and outcomes,” said Dr Michael
Westcott, CMIO, Alegent Health
“In the healthcare environment, IT security must serve to maintain
the privacy of patient data – but not at the cost of disrupting the
clinical workflow,” said Steve Copland, The 451 Group. “Imprivata’s
design goal for its access and authentication platform is to enable the
definition of workflows that address the need for IT security to provide
controls that balance risk management, sensible compliance management
and productivity.”
