Case Study: Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust reduces clinician login time with Imprivata Follow Me Desktop

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust cuts clinician login time from 30 minutes with Imprivata

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust faced a significant challenge with complex and lengthy login processes for clinicians, which could take up to 30 minutes and created security risks. The Trust needed to enhance access to critical systems, reduce IT administration, and improve the adoption of its new Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. They partnered with vendor Imprivata, utilizing its Enterprise Access Management solution for single sign-on and multifactor authentication.

Imprivata's solution, integrated with Citrix and IGEL, created a 'Follow Me Desktop' that allowed clinicians fast, badge-tap access to systems. This dramatically reduced login times, freeing up more time for patient care and streamlining EPR adoption. The results included improved security and significant IT resource savings, as updates could now be deployed centrally to all devices instead of individually.
