Case Study: Apria Healthcare achieves enriched patient care and data security with Absolute Software

Apria Healthcare delivers enriched patient care with Absolute

Apria Healthcare, a national leader in home respiratory services with more than 400 locations and 8,000 employees serving 1.8 million patients annually, faced growing risk from lost or stolen mobile devices and the sensitive patient data they contained. Operating under strict HIPAA and HITECH requirements, the IT team needed better visibility and control over remote endpoints to prevent breaches and ensure regulatory compliance.

Apria deployed Absolute’s endpoint security with its Persistence® technology—preloading the agent on new devices—to maintain a reliable two‑way connection, group devices by user/location, receive alerts on changes, and remotely freeze or wipe devices as needed. The solution improved compliance and device inventory visibility and enabled secure mobile access for therapists (e.g., Microsoft Surface tablets), helping Apria deliver faster, safer patient care.
