Case Study: Community Hospital saves 8–10 hours/week and establishes proactive patient privacy monitoring with Imprivata FairWarning

Community Hospital saves time, transforms privacy program with proactive monitoring

Community Hospital, a 60‑bed acute care center in Grand Junction, CO with about 1,000 employees, expanded into a new 140,000 sq. ft. facility and found its manual auditing processes and fragmented EHR systems could not keep up with growing privacy and HIPAA compliance demands. The IT and informatics teams needed a streamlined, organization‑wide way to monitor patient access and enforce privacy protocols.

They implemented Imprivata FairWarning Patient Privacy Intelligence and Managed Privacy Services to centralize monitoring, detect unusual access, and support investigations. The program established proactive privacy monitoring, saved staff 8–10 hours per week on audits, reduced incidents through greater awareness and enforcement, and freed IT and privacy staff to focus on additional assessments and training.
