Case Study: Penn State Health achieves faster onboarding and stronger security with Imprivata

Penn State Health increases user productivity and strengthens security with Imprivata

Penn State Health, a multi-hospital system serving 29 counties with more than 17,000 employees, faced slow, fragmented identity lifecycle management that relied on scripts, spreadsheets, and disparate directories. Onboarding and reassigning access could take days or weeks, creating lost productivity and security risks such as credential sharing, orphaned accounts, and privilege creep.

By implementing the Imprivata digital identity platform to automate provisioning, consolidate identity data, and enforce role-based access with SSO/MFA and integrated governance, Penn State Health now provisions new users in hours, reduces security and compliance risk, frees IT to focus on strategic work, and achieves rapid ROI—backed by improved audit trails and visibility.
