Specialist healthcare reseller BMS has completed a deal to roll out Imprivata OneSign across East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust.
The technology will allow more than 7,000 trust workers access to a range of applications using single sign-on (SSO) technology.
Its implementation has already led to a 25 per cent reduction in calls to the trust’s IT helpdesk, which equates to an annual saving of more than £80,000.
Nicola Ellingham, project manager for SSO at East Kent Hospitals University Foundation NHS Trust, said: “Password resets and access issues are an incredible drain on IT resources, and Imprivata technology has helped us eradicate these calls so that support staff can focus on other, more strategic areas of IT across the business.”
Omar Hussain, chief executive of Imprivata, said: “NHS organisations across the UK face similar access management challenges in terms of securing clinician access to data and systems without compromising user productivity or audit trails.
“Imprivata is committed to addressing these needs via the OneSign platform, providing all NHS trusts with the right solutions to drive efficiency, cut costs, and improve clinician satisfaction, enabling hospitals to deliver better patient care.”
The deployment of Imprivata OneSign at East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trusts means that more than 75 NHS trusts in the UK now use the technology.
