pharmaceuticals, insurance; billing agents; vendors and regional healthcare partner organizations. Our lead in is based on previous client success.

For Profit Hospitals & Educational Facilities

We have a series of “wins” which have produced key templates and access pattern understanding among large healthcare, core systems (Ex: EPIC, CERNER, etc.). We understand the needs of your user community – it’s transient.

State-and-local Government

Increased attention to identity controls and their “de-facto” place in Medicaid-based systems will only increase. The integrators are just starting to understand this. We can provide our product deployment patterns in a best-of-breed fashion.

Partners Consulting’s GRC solutions for healthcare guide covered entities through assessment, alignment and deployment of technology providing organizations with fast-forward tools to support: enterprise-wide views of IT risk in a healthcare network; and they tie GRC service strategy to delivery.

Core Client MessagesProvide enhanced Quality of Care

Providers need more access to more systems in a more timely fashion; all as they administer care throughout the day. IAM technologies are invaluable –and-enabling technologies providing control-and-context based access

Focus on Access

Define an IT GRC strategy based on PHI access patterns; then pinpoint key risk areas and remediate based on standards-based identity tools. Communicate, review and endorse your IT GRC tools’ performance based on real healthcare issues.

Controls Will Drive You; if you don’t…

HIPAA offenses will not defer to excuses from covered entities; with the act ultimately being given finer language detailing technology components that should be de-facto in today’s healthcare networks.
