Imprivata announced that St. Croix Regional Medical Center is leveraging Imprivata OneSign to provide convenient and secure access to patient data as part of the organization's move to EMR.

With Imprivata OneSign, SCRMC has eliminated the password management challenges faced when transitioning from paper-based records to NextGen EHR, improving physician and clinician workflow, while strengthening the security around accessing patient information.

"Moving to an electronic format results in doctors and clinicians having to remember even more passwords to access the data and applications needed to provide superior patient care. This can significantly disrupt workflow and reduce the amount of time spent on patient care," said Brent McCurdy, Network Manager, St. Croix Regional Medical Center. "As part of our overall EMR strategy, we implemented OneSign and fingerprint biometrics to protect patient confidentiality and provide clinicians with easy and secure access to patient health information and other data. With Imprivata, our staff can quickly sign into NetxGen and other systems, retrieve or update the patient information needed, and be securely logged out, preventing unauthorized access through an unattended terminal. OneSign also provides that same secure access remotely to our applications running on Terminal Services. "

"St. Croix Regional Medical Center understood that providing fast and secure access to patient information is a critical first step in an EMR roll-out," said Omar Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata. "As a result, they were ahead of industry norms and addressed these complex password and security issues before compliance regulations such as HITECH were introduced and mandated these steps. The success and foresight of St. Croix is a clear demonstration of the critical role that SSO and strong authentication plays in moving to electronic medical records."
