AHA Endorsement:

Secure Messaging

“Imprivata Cortext gives us a powerful solution for moving away from pagers and enabling more efficient clinical communication and care coordination.” – Adam Buckley, MD, Chief Medical Information Officer, University of Vermont Medical (UVM) Center, Burlington, Vt.

Health care organizations today struggle with pagers and outdated communication technologies that delay the delivery of care while impacting providers’ productivity and satisfaction. As a result, many providers turn to their own or hospital-owned mobile devices for communication, which hospitals find difficult to protect against security breaches that compromise electronic patient health information (ePHI).

Why We Endorse Imprivata’s Secure Messaging

After a thorough review of solutions designed to address this issue, the AHA has awarded its endorsement to the Imprivata Cortext® secure messaging platform based on the solution’s:

  • Sole focus on understanding and addressing the needs of the health care field
  • Native desktop and Web-based platform for physician, nursing and clinical staff communications
  • Multi-site messaging across multiple sites in the care continuum, which can improve care coordination, provider mobility, patient engagement and process efficiency
  • Singular ability to enable physician, nursing, broadcast and patient communications
  • Ability to optimize organizations’ specific workflows for improved clinical productivity
  • Strong emphasis on facilitating user adoption, helping to maximize staff satisfaction and productivity while ensuring communication security

Imprivata Cortext is a cloud-based health care communication platform that enables providers to securely communicate across their mobile device, tablet or desktop to better coordinate care across groups and multiple affiliated sites.

  • Fast and easy to use, it streamlines clinical workflow efficiency and enhances staff satisfaction
  • Because the platform is identity-based, alerts and messages reach every device or desktop the provider uses in real time, improving provider response time
  • Going beyond just secure messaging, it enables care team collaboration, mass communications and provider-to-patient communications inside and outside the hospital
  • Designed to secure patient health information, Imprivata Cortext is HIPAA-verified by a third-party audit agency and backed by a Business Associate Agreement
  • Organizations that also have the Imprivata OneSign® authentication and access management platform can leverage deep integration between the two products for simplified access to Imprivata Cortext
