Case Study: Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System achieves fast, DEA-compliant e-prescribing and streamlined, secure clinical access with Imprivata

Enabling fast, secure EPCS, remote network access, and other clinical workflows with the Imprivata authentication platform

Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System (FMOLHS) is one of Louisiana’s largest health systems, with nearly 1,800 beds serving the Baton Rouge region. The IT team needed to balance strong security with clinician usability: simple username/password remote access posed risks, paper prescriptions for controlled substances forced inefficient dual workflows, and frequent complex password entry slowed providers and distracted from patient care.

FMOLHS deployed the Imprivata authentication platform—OneSign for proximity‑badge No Click Access and Confirm ID for DEA‑compliant EPCS and remote access—bringing centralized, consistent authentication across the enterprise. The result: two‑factor protection for remote access, fast, secure electronic prescribing for controlled substances (integrated with Epic), streamlined workstation access via badge tap, reduced paper prescriptions and dual workflows, and improved provider efficiency and patient satisfaction.
