Case Study: a leading healthcare organization achieves HIPAA-compliant secure access with HID Global ActivOne

HID Global ActivOne for Healthcare Enables Healthcare Organizations to Surpass HIPAA Password Requirements

A leading healthcare organization faced the challenge of enhancing security for electronic patient healthcare information (ePHI) to meet stringent HIPAA requirements. They needed a solution that provided robust access control without impeding the urgent and frequent access required by healthcare workers, especially as stolen or misused passwords were a primary vulnerability. The vendor, HID Global, provided its ActivOne solution to address this multifaceted security need.

HID Global implemented its ActivOne solution with Crescendo smart badges for multi-factor authentication and identity credential management. This integrated approach provided secure and convenient logical access to workstations, physical access to facilities, and single sign-on for electronic medical records. The results included higher security, compliance with HIPAA regulations, cost savings, and increased convenience for healthcare professionals, giving both staff and patients greater peace of mind.
