Market Needs
Patient Privacy - Adoption of Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) combined with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requirements to safeguard the privacy of patient health information are driving hospitals, clinics and medical offices to upgrade IT systems with stronger identity and authentication management systems, password maintenance policies, and data protection practices.
Insurance Fraud - Fraud and abuse in healthcare entitlement programs by both recipients and healthcare providers, a problem estimated to cost $51 billion in the U.S. in 2006 according to the National Healthcare Anti-Fraud Association, is fueling demand for audit data and monitoring services to verify healthcare visits and track treatments.
IT costs - IT managers at healthcare providers are seeking to address patient privacy and insurance fraud while lowering costs, especially the cost of managing passwords, and improving employee productivity and their user experience.
