Identity management - reducing operational cost
Effective and efficient delivery of patient care by healthcare professionals and allied professionals requires information to be shared as widely as possible, while maintaining patient privacy and the security of sensitive corporate data. This is possible only when an effective identity management strategy is in place, one that allows disparate organizations to take advantage of the efficiencies of moving to electronic records.
PA’s approach to identity management can help you make this transition while addressing other organizational challenges including:
- Regulatory compliance and improved security – facilitating the move to electronic records while providing assurance on the protection of organizations' confidential data and patient records from unauthorised access
- Cost reductions and increased efficiency – by helping to ensure that the right patient receives the right care when and where they require it; eliminating the direct cost of paper records and the indirect costs resulting from errors; enhancing internal management sign-off processes
- Improving patient service and business facilitation – by enabling cross-organization identity management to ensure a smooth patient journey and secure data sharing in the clinical trails process; on-line patient access to their own records; improving data quality to support evidenced based medicine
- Reducing fraud and misuse of funds – by identifying patients' eligibility for treatment
- Improving crime prevention – through more effective monitoring and control of drugs and restricted substances usage.
PA has significant expertise in identity management gained through a combination of our extensive work in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, and 60 years of wider industry experience. This combination allows us to offer our clients both unique and practical solutions to their identity management issues.
A recent example of this experience is the work we undertook with a pharmaceutical company where we developed a single consistent process and set of technologies for management identity. This incorporated the bio-pharma industry standard providing legally binding digital solutions endorsed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medical Products (EMEA).
