Case Study: Northern Light Health achieves fast, secure role-based access and significant time savings with Imprivata Identity Governance

Ensuring secure, role-based access and saving time with Imprivata Identity Governance

Northern Light Health, a 1,176-bed integrated health system in Maine with about 11,000 employees (Cerner Millennium EHR), faced slow, decentralized, and manual user-provisioning processes that delayed clinicians from getting timely access to systems and created frustrating workflows for IS teams, managers, and staff.

By deploying Imprivata Identity Governance together with Imprivata OneSign and Confirm ID, Northern Light automated role-based provisioning tied to HR job codes, enabled manager notifications, and delivered fast, no‑click single sign-on. The result: large time savings and fewer manual steps, reduced IT costs and help desk calls, faster and secure access for clinicians from day one, and simplified auditing and reporting.
