Case Study: Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust achieves faster clinician access with Imprivata

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust cuts login times by 78% with Imprivata

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust faced significant challenges with slow system access for clinicians, with initial login times exceeding two minutes per shift. This delay hampered patient care and led to insecure workarounds like leaving smart cards in readers, creating governance issues. The Trust sought a solution to support its Digital First, paperless strategy and turned to Imprivata for its Enterprise Access Management solution.

Imprivata implemented a proximity-based single sign-on system where clinicians tap their ID badge and enter a PIN for rapid access. This solution slashed start-of-shift login times by 78%, down to 27 seconds, and cut subsequent logins to 2-6 seconds. The implementation saved over 30 days of clinician time per month and improved security. Imprivata's solution enabled seamless access to patient records, becoming a key agent for the Trust's digital transformation.
