Many healthcare organizations want to use their data to be actionable while safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized access. However, there are significant identity management challenges that healthcare organizations must master to effectively link health information to the correct, authorized individuals and care teams. With the accelerating volume of sensitive healthcare data being created in healthcare by both people and connected medical devices, traditional forms of identity management lack the agility to keep pace with health IT infrastructure and regulatory requirements. In this focus group session, we will discuss the state of identity management in the healthcare industry and what critical identity management challenges organizations are facing.

Learning Objectives:

1. How identity management can simplify the challenges healthcare organizations are facing when it comes to meeting the regulatory requirements of identity management.

2. What technology options are available to establish, verify, authenticate and authorize access for clinicians, patients, care givers, and other stakeholders.

3. How traditional identity management and data governance technologies are converging to enable healthcare organizations with “true” enterprise identity governance.
