MANDATES:
Patient data

At Dublin Methodist Hospital in Ohio, the implementation of Imprivata's OneSign platfom has proven useful in complying with mandates.

“Imprivata's OneSign platform simplifies application access and provides another level of authentication at Dublin Methodist Hospital to help ensure compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards,” says OhioHealth CTO Jim Lowder.

Strong authentication implementation, easily enabled with OneSign, allows companies to comply with HIPAA regulations for patient data security requirements and adds no additional cost to the overall solution, says Imprivata CTO David Ting.

“The ProveID functionality helps organizations comply with increasing regulations, including state of Ohio Board of Pharmacy's requirement for two-factor authentication for controlled drug prescription orders and HIPAA regulations for patient data security,” says Lowder

These instances of positive identification authentication requirements are just the tip of the regulation iceberg, adds Ting.

“Whether government-driven or industry-driven, transaction level security is becoming a crucial element for health care and other organizations in the transition toward paperless transactions.” – GM
