Case Study: AZ Groeninge achieves streamlined clinical workflows and exponentially improved patient data security with Imprivata OneSign

Protect patient data and streamline clinical workflows with Imprivata OneSign

AZ Groeninge is a not‑for‑profit hospital formed from a merger of four local hospitals and is the fifth largest in Belgium, with about 1,100 beds and 2,800 staff. Facing stricter regulations (ISMS:ISP) and growing electronic patient records, the hospital needed to protect sensitive data without disrupting clinical workflows and to eliminate risky password sharing among clinicians.

AZ Groeninge implemented Imprivata OneSign Single Sign‑On with badge/token strong authentication and desktop virtualization, letting clinicians swipe to access roaming sessions and log in remotely. The change cut log‑on times to seconds, removed the incentive to share passwords, improved audit reporting and regulatory compliance, and delivered a significant, measurable increase in patient‑data security while streamlining clinical workflows.
