Healthcare Identity Cloud Helps Healthcare Organizations Simplify Identity Management and Ease Administrative Burdens
Saviynt, a leading provider of intelligent identity governance solutions, today released its Saviynt Healthcare Identity Cloud (HIC) at HIMSS22. The new solution, built on Saviynt’s industry-leading Enterprise Identity Cloud (EIC) architecture, improves a healthcare organization’s security posture and simplifies complex identity management.
Saviynt Healthcare Identity Cloud is designed to provide seamless identity management, accelerate implementation timeframes, and help providers comply with regulations such as HIPAA, SOX, and PCI with pre-configured industry workflows and deep electronic healthcare record (EHR) platform integrations.
The healthcare industry faces unique identity management and security challenges resulting from the proliferation of medical devices, evolving compliance regulations, and rotating workforces. This complicated identity ecosystem often leads to access delays, over-provisioning, administrative burdens on caregivers, and significant manual workloads for security teams. These issues directly impact a provider’s ability to deliver patient care and puts organizations at risk of security breaches, which have increased more than 30% in the healthcare industry since last year.
“Reducing administrative burdens and eliminating access delays continues to be a key challenge within the healthcare industry. Especially as hospital systems struggle with increased rates of burnout among clinical staff,” said Ivan Childress, Director, Healthcare Identity Cloud at Saviynt. “Our new industry solution helps address these concerns by modernizing healthcare identity management.”
HIC consolidates disparate Identity & Access Management (IAM) capabilities into a converged identity platform. It centralizes human and machine identity governance, privileged access management, third-party access, and other critical identity functions. With simplified administration, frictionless user access, and automated approval workflows, organizations can better focus on positive patient outcomes.
“Adopting a robust IAM solution is more than just a matter of ensuring governance and compliance for healthcare organizations,” said Renju Varghese, Fellow and Chief Architect, Cybersecurity, HCL Technologies. “Saviynt HIC allows healthcare organizations to streamline and secure their administrative processes which in turn empowers healthcare workers, helping them focus entirely on patient care.”
