The healthcare industry is unique for the volume and types of sensitive data it needs to store and manage. From patient profiles and appointments with specific practitioners or providers to medical history and treatment information, your business is responsible for the privacy and security of EHRs that hold the potential for misuse.
Securing these records is vital, and there are 4 key ways Akku can help.
Implementing a zero-trust security strategy with careful segregation of roles and minimizing the access provided to users of each role
Eliminating the possibility of fraudulent access through the use of a multi-factor authentication with a strong additional verification factor beyond passwords
Preventing misuse or breaches by restricting your users to access sensitive data and applications only from specific devices or networks, or during specific shift times
Plugging gaps in security by revoking access for users who no longer need it, or for employees exiting your organization
Reinforce security for sensitive electronic records at every level with Akku’s User Lifecycle Manager, AMFA, and Access Manager.
Doctors, nurses, lab techs, or administrators - today your healthcare facility runs on data. And if that data is not easily accessible by the right person at the right time, the consequences can be serious. Identity and access management makes it possible to balance the friction created by high levels of security with convenient and streamlined access by all authorized users.
With Akku’s single sign-on, your team members just need to log in once to access applications that range from your hospital management system to recordkeeping, PACS, image management and diagnostics, and even billing. Fast, easy access means more time to spend on better patient care. Akku also saves time for your team in managing their access credentials through self-service password management. Setting and recovering passwords, or configuring their preferred multi-factor or passwordless method for authentication - by putting your users in control, you save time and effort and again enable better care.
Enhance efficiency and save valuable time for your users with no compromise on security using Akku’s SSO/IDP and Password Manager.
