Imprivata, the healthcare IT security company, and VMware today announced a collaboration to create a new mobile clinical
capability for healthcare by combining Imprivata OneSign, Imprivata
Confirm ID, and Imprivata Cortext with VMware Workspace ONE. This new
solution is designed to simplify mobile access to electronic health
record systems (EHRs), enable DEA-compliant electronic prescribing of
controlled substances (EPCS), and provide secure communication between
clinicians and patients, from Workspace ONE managed devices.
IDC
projects that the healthcare industry will spend $30 billion on mobility
solutions by 2019, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2 percent.
Health IT organizations have unfortunately been limited in their
selection of solutions to help physicians maintain effectiveness
regardless of where they are or their device of choice.
VMware Workspace ONE
unifies user, desktop and mobile management to enable a Digital
Clinical Workspace that moves with care providers throughout their
day. Imprivata extends the clinical capability of Workspace ONE through
integration of the following products:
- Imprivata OneSign allows healthcare workers to leverage their
OneSign credentials to securely access Windows and cloud-based
applications via Workspace ONE managed mobile devices.
- Imprivata Confirm ID provides a comprehensive two-factor
authentication capability to Workspace ONE managed devices, across
multiple healthcare workflows, including secure access to patient
records, DEA-compliant e-prescribing, computerized physician order entry
(CPOE) and medication ordering.
- Imprivata Cortext provides secure communications between clinicians and between clinicians and their patients.
"The ongoing collaboration between Imprivata and VMware has
provided us with secure Health IT solutions that give doctors and
clinicians access to the applications and information they need at the
point of care, where it helps them the most," said J. Joshua Wilda, Vice
President Of Information Technology, Metro Health Innovation Center.
"From an IT perspective, Imprivata and VMware support improved agility
to quickly meet evolving regulations. This new solution for EPCS has the
potential to help us both prevent abuse of schedule II drugs while
enabling patients to access the drugs they need in a timely manner."
"Through
a successful six-year relationship with VMware, we have helped our
mutual customers improve clinical efficiency with a combined solution
using Imprivata OneSign for secure, fast access to VMware Horizon
published applications and desktops inside the hospital," said David
Ting, Chief Technology Officer at Imprivata. "Now, as the healthcare
industry goes mobile, we are excited to be one of the first to support
VMware's new Workspace ONE platform, which includes both Horizon and
AirWatch, to provide the same user experience to our customers from
hospital owned or personal mobile devices, so they can access and
communicate patient information anywhere at any time."
The
Digital Clinical Workspace builds on VMware AlwaysOn Point of Care, a
reference architecture used by healthcare organizations globally.
Designed specifically for healthcare applications, and tested with an
ecosystem of healthcare and infrastructure partners including Imprivata,
VMware AlwaysOn Point of Care mobilizes healthcare providers, enabling
secure access to PHI to improve patient care decisions and provide a new
level of flexibility.
"Combining VMware Workspace ONE with
Imprivata OneSign will help preserve the streamlined workflows
healthcare clinicians expect from combined VMware and Imprivata
solutions," said Sumit Dhawan, senior vice president and general
manager, Desktop Products, End-User Computing, VMware. "Clinicians are
demanding the benefits of the consumer mobile experience they are used
to in their personal lives. With Workspace ONE and Imprivata OneSign, we
will uniquely deliver that secure clinical experience from any device
both inside and outside the hospital."
