Case Study: Peninsula Regional Medical Center achieves faster, more secure e-prescribing and reduced prescription fraud with Imprivata Confirm ID

Leveraging Imprivata to enable fast, secure access to PHI and seamless EPCS in EpicCare

Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) is a 300‑bed Level II trauma center in Salisbury, Maryland, serving a large rural population. PRMC struggled with inefficient paper prescriptions that slowed prescribers, risked fraud and diversion, and made it hard for pharmacists and patients to manage controlled‑substance prescriptions while meeting stringent DEA EPCS requirements.

PRMC implemented Imprivata Confirm ID integrated with Imprivata OneSign and Epic to provide DEA‑compliant identity proofing and seamless two‑factor authentication embedded in clinicians’ workflows. The change sped up prescribing, reduced fraud, improved pharmacist accuracy and turnaround, and increased patient and provider satisfaction—allowing physicians to spend more time with patients and making medication handoffs safer and more efficient.
