Case Study: Major Healthcare Organization achieves HIPAA compliance and reduced risk with SailPoint Technologies

Major healthcare organization ensures HIPAA compliance and manages risk with next-gen IAM

This not-for-profit healthcare organization operates 32 hospitals, 400 clinics and related services, with more than $12 billion in annual revenue, 65,000 employees and 3,000 physicians. As it moved to electronic health records and ePHI, the hospital faced intensified HIPAA/HITECH compliance pressures, disparate identity repositories and manual, spreadsheet-driven access reviews that left the organization vulnerable to orphaned accounts, entitlement creep and difficulty answering “who has access to what.”

The hospital implemented SailPoint IdentityIQ to consolidate identity data into a single authoritative repository, automate cross-enterprise access certifications, apply governance-based policy controls and surface risk scores and business-friendly dashboards. The deployment delivered enterprise-wide visibility and control, eliminated orphaned accounts, improved certification accuracy and audit readiness, prioritized high-risk users for remediation, and produced measurable time and cost savings while strengthening overall compliance and risk management.
