Case Study: Summa Health improves clinical efficiency and medical device security with Imprivata Medical Device Access

Summa Health saves clinicians 25-30 seconds per device access with Imprivata

Summa Health, a major healthcare system in Ohio, faced challenges securing its network-connected medical devices after a large-scale EHR migration. Their new vital sign monitors required manual username and password entry for access, which was cumbersome for clinicians and led to password fatigue, workflow inefficiencies, and potential security risks. To improve security and clinical efficiency without adding frustration, they turned to Imprivata for a solution.

Summa Health implemented Imprivata Medical Device Access, which streamlined authentication by allowing clinicians to tap a proximity badge instead of manually entering credentials. This solution from Imprivata saved clinicians significant time per access event, improved security compliance, and enhanced data integrity by ensuring vitals were transmitted directly to the EHR. The staff reported high satisfaction with the time savings and the increased efficiency at the point of care.
