Case Study: Tallaght University Hospital boosts patient facetime with Imprivata

Tallaght University Hospital saves up to 58 minutes per shift with Imprivata

Tallaght University Hospital, a large acute teaching hospital in Ireland, faced significant challenges with slow and cumbersome login procedures for clinicians accessing up to 17 different systems. This was compounded by an aging IT infrastructure and complex password requirements, reducing valuable patient facetime and creating security and auditability risks. To address this, the hospital partnered with Imprivata for a pilot project utilizing Imprivata Enterprise Access Management with single sign-on and multifactor authentication.

The Imprivata solution streamlined access, reducing the initial desktop login time from over 31 seconds to under 2 seconds and eliminating the need for multiple passwords. This gave clinicians back substantial time per shift for direct patient care, with savings in one department increasing to 58 minutes per staff member per eight-hour shift. The solution improved security, mobility, and auditability while working with the hospital's existing hardware, leading to plans for a broader rollout.
