They actively maintain and expand upon a strategic partnership ecosystem in all of the right places: clinical access and patient identification, virtualization and desktop delivery, clinical mobility and communication, and medical devices.

Global clinical experience

Imprivata is uniquely positioned to enable healthcare securely not just because of our solutions and partner ecosystem, but also because we understand healthcare and clinical workflows. In fact, Imprivata boasts a global clinical team that understands the problems that care providers – and healthcare as a whole – are facing, and who are dedicated to solving clinical problems and ensuring success.

The Imprivata advantage

The company’s history, market presence, and understanding of clinical workflows enable them to continue to solve the challenges healthcare organizations face today, as well as the challenges healthcare organizations will face in the future.

Single sign-on (SSO)

Imprivata OneSign^® offers a single sign-on (SSO) solution that enables care providers to spend less time with technology and more time with patients. By eliminating the need to repeatedly type usernames and passwords, Imprivata OneSign allows providers to quickly and securely access clinical and administrative applications, which streamlines clinical workflows and drives EHR adoption.

Care providers regularly need to remember eight or more application passwords. Security best practices require those passwords to be unique, strong and frequently changed. In the absence of an SSO solution, it’s no wonder care providers write passwords down, stick them to the monitor, or just forget them.

Multifactor authentication platform

Imprivata Confirm ID is the comprehensive identity and multifactor authentication platform for healthcare. The need for holistic, enterprise-wide multifactor authentication in healthcare has never been greater, and Imprivata Confirm ID provides a secure, auditable chain of trust wherever, whenever, and however users interact with the patient record.

Imprivata Virtual Desktop Access

Imprivata OneSign^® gives care providers fast and easy access to their Citrix- or VMware-based virtual desktops. By replacing repetitive, manual log-ins with automated processes, Imprivata OneSign helps providers obtain information more efficiently, so they can spend more time with patients.

Imprivata Virtual Desktop Access provides fast access to virtual desktops that ‘follow’ care providers as they move around a hospital, maintaining the state of their systems and applications as they change locations and devices. That lets care providers leverage virtualization for more efficient care delivery while maintaining compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements.
