Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership Trust recently went live with the Imprivata Identity and Authentication management solution for remote working.
The company provided the licenses for free to support more than 4,000 staff to work remotely, securely.
The roll-out was completed the weekend before lockdown to support healthcare professionals conduct surgeries, hold online consultation sessions, prescribe and have prescriptions printed.
It means the trust provided two-factor authentication for secure remote access to key systems and data, and primary care staff also adopted the solution.
Yusuf Bhayat, IM&T Technical Operations Manager at Coventry and Warwickshire IT Collaborative said “Our task was to provide full remote access to Trust facilities, not just for the clinicians, but for all staff, to all the systems, folders and documents they needed to do their jobs when working safely from home.”
“Imprivata Confirm ID enabled us to deliver this all over a weekend ahead of the impending COVID-19 lockdown. Imprivata Confirm ID has literally been a lifesaver.”
Jaswinder Sian, Front Office Services Manager at Coventry & Warwickshire IT Collaborative Trust said “Using Imprivata Confirm ID meant staff didn’t need to use physical tokens to gain access.”
“This enabled rapid deployment of the solution as we didn’t have to procure, configure and distribute physical tokens for more than 4,000 employees which would have severely slowed down the process and put people at risk.”
