Security Services

Identity Management, Access Management, Compliance and Privacy are critical issues in healthcare.

A typical hospital uses hundreds of applications. Thousands of employees need access to systems, and some areas have staff turnover of more than 20%. Termination of inactive accounts is a constant problem. Shared passwords create security and privacy risks - and HIPAA and Joint Commission audit problems. Clinician productivity is affected by multiple password entry requirements - an average of 85 passwords per shift in one study - wasting up to an hour a shift, and causing frustration. The setup of new accounts can take weeks.

The good news is that these problems can be eliminated with off the shelf software that can be implemented in months.
