Digital identity is crucial for ensuring security and enabling transformation in healthcare, according to Dr. Sean Kelly, chief medical officer at Imprivata.
Dr. Kelly emphasized the importance of understanding workflows, engaging with informatics teams, and providing secure IT solutions that minimize friction in healthcare operations.
Imprivata’s digital identity platform, now available on Microsoft Azure, offers interoperable technologies to enhance operational efficiency, security, and compliance for healthcare organizations.
Dr. Kelly stressed the need for a solid cyber security strategy, highlighting the three pillars of people, process, and technology to safeguard patient safety and prevent downtime.
He advocated for a ‘zero-trust approach’ to security, especially with the rise of remote patient care, and underscored the importance of coordinating digital identities on a national level for the future of healthcare in the UK.
