Encentuate IAM for Healthcare

Empower Healthcare Providers with Secure and Fast Access to Patient Information

Encentuate IAM for Healthcare provides healthcare organizations with best-of-breed identity and access management to improve caregiver productivity and quality of patient care, protect confidential patient information while maintaining centralized control over information access. Selected by multiple integrated delivery networks, community hospitals and academic medical centers, the solution combines single sign-on & sign-off capability with clinical workflow automation, strong authentication, centralized policy administration, user provisioning, and patient context management.

Data security and confidentiality of patient information are foremost issues for healthcare organizations today. HIPAA compliance is a key driver for identity access management, as strategic audit and tracking capabilities ease the IT burden.

Comprehensive session management and fast user switching capabilities, combined with single sign-on and sign-off, streamline clinical workflows and greatly reduce time-to-patient-information. Fast user switching on shared workstations is crucial on hospital floors as it enables multiple caregivers to share a computer simultaneously, switch across users without the need to log out, or face the risk of getting locked out. The solution also allows doctors and nurses to maintain their private desktops while sharing the workstation with co-workers. Caregivers who want their desktops to "follow them" can use Encentuate's roaming desktop support. Encentuate also supports hybrid desktops where healthcare providers may combine different session management capabilities to meet the needs of their caregiver community. Deployments can be tailored area-by-area to streamline workflow on shared workstations.
