[October 06, 2008] Imprivata OneSign Continues to Be the Authentication and Access Management Solution of Choice for Cerner Customers Tweet KANSAS CITY, Mo. --(Business Wire)-- Imprivata(R), Inc., the converged authentication and access management company, today announced that Cerner customers worldwide continue to deploy Imprivata OneSign as their identity management solution of choice. Many of the nation's leading healthcare organizations such as Marquette General Hospital, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, Moffitt Cancer Center and Monongalia General Hospital are successfully utilizing Imprivata's OneSign(R) Appliance Platform, in conjunction with Cerner's A3 Sentinel Identity Management suite, to securely access patient data and improve password management issues. The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center is just one of the organizations that have leveraged OneSign to create a more patient-centered, user-driven clinical workflow while meeting security and regulatory requirements. "We have been running Cerner applications for several years now and they are a critical part of our diverse and complex IT environment. We needed a single sign-on (SSO) solution that would let us easily manage these challenges without diminishing the high levels of care that our patients have come to expect," said Dr. Stephen Patterson, chief medical information officer with Moffitt Cancer Center. "The power of Imprivata's SSO solution allows our doctors and nurses to quickly log in and out of critical applications. Even when they are accessing applications as they roam from workstation to workstation within the hospital, their application state stays with them. This ensures security while improving user productivity." Imprivata's OneSign(R) Single Sign-On is a key component of A3, simplifying end-user authentication to applications and making it easier for physicians and clinicians to access patient data. OneSign SSO easily integrates with Cerner's Millennium healthcare applications and includes support for shared workstations, roaming desktops, fast user switching, a broad range of integrated strong authentication options (proximity cards, fingerprint biometrics, ID tokens) and password policy implementation and management. "Imprivata understands the security challenges that healthcare organizations face, from protecting patient data to ensuring clinician productivity, and we are proud of our successes in providing customers with an effective and easy-to-use solution that addresses their needs," said Omar Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata. "Our partnership with Cerner has proven successful and healthcare companies are benefiting from a complete identity management solution that helps them address their user authentication and password management concerns." Imprivata's easy-to-use and highly intuitive One Sign Platform consists of three modules--OneSign Authentication Management, OneSign Single Sign-On and OneSign Physical/Logical. Together, they address the specific needs of the healthcare industry, including authentication management for fast and secure access; ability to create comprehensive user and computer policies; capability to easily monitor, track and report on employee access events; and ability to automate all application password changes. In doing so, OneSign ensures compliance with all relevant mandates, including HIPAA, while lowering costs, sharply reducing help desk calls and improving user productivity. Dr. Stephen Patterson will be presenting at this week's Cerner Health Conference on Wednesday, October 8th at 11:00am CT in the session entitled, "Making Patient Data More Accessible: Top Cancer Center Shares its Secrets" located in room 2215A.
