Health Care

Healthcare industry is faced with two critical challenges when it comes to implementing Health Information Technology (HIT), which includes electronic health records. The first challenge is protecting the privacy of personal information, and the second challenge is providing simple, efficient ways for providers to use HIT in the fast-paced workflows of healthcare.

The privacy of data is a major concern for the public, as reports of hospitals and other organisations accidentally releasing personal information of customers, employees, and members are common. At the same time, as more and more health systems adopt HIT, projects can stall and even fail because physicians, nurses, and other providers find certain technologies to be slow or too distracting for safe and efficient use while treating patients. In order to better address both the privacy concerns of the public and the workflow needs of providers, many health systems are turning to identity and access management technologies.

The passage of health information privacy laws and the rapid growth of the electronic exchange of personal information has irreversibly elevated the importance of Identity and Access Management (IAM) in healthcare for regulators, privacy advocates, and the lay public. IAM requires a focus on security, privacy, and efficiency. It enables authorised people to appropriately access and use patient data quickly and easily, while preventing unauthorised people from accessing patient data and preventing the use or release of patient data inappropriately.

At global one, we understand these challenges facing healthcare organisations, and our Identity and Access Management practice aims to protect you from increasing security and compliance risks by safeguarding patient health information. Our team of security experts works with best-of-breed IAM tools to implement automated processes and frameworks that enable immediate and appropriate access to the applications your caregivers need when they need them, while identifying access risks, meeting compliance requirements, and maintaining and monitoring patient privacy.

global one addresses the operational challenges of access to clinical applications while protecting you from increasing security and compliance risk by safeguarding access to patient health information.
