Case Study: Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre improves nursing efficiency and BCMA compliance with Imprivata

Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre boosts BCMA compliance to 80% with Imprivata

The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, a leading cancer treatment center in Australia, faced challenges in providing its nursing staff with fast and secure access to its Epic EMR across various devices. They needed to reduce time-consuming logins, better integrate mobile workflows to keep nurses close to patients, and streamline the critical double-authentication process for administering high-risk medications. To address this, they partnered with Imprivata.

By implementing Imprivata Enterprise Access Management and Imprivata Mobile Device Access, the center extended its secure badge-tap login to mobile devices. This Imprivata solution integrated with their Epic systems to provide fast, secure access and manage witness authentication. The results included substantial time savings, with nurses filing flowsheet data 50 minutes sooner on mobile devices, and a significant increase in barcode medication administration compliance rates, which reached 80% on inpatient wards using mobile handhelds.
