We’re thrilled to announce the release of the Oracle Access Governance integration for Oracle Health EHR, formerly known as Cerner Millennium. This integration allows healthcare organizations to efficiently manage user access to electronic health records (EHRs), orchestrate identities and permissions, streamline provisioning workflows to improve security, and helps address regulatory requirements.
Healthcare organizations handle large volumes of sensitive data on a regular basis. With growing cyber threats, regulatory requirements, such as HIPAA and HITECH regulations, and complex workflows across departments, managing access to patient data is crucial. Access Governance focuses on controlling access to resources, so that only authorized users can access sensitive data.
Healthcare organizations face the following key challenges:
Access Governance is designed to manage and enforce automated access control across the organization. It allows healthcare institutions to automate identity and access processes, simplifying how users gain and maintain access to any system, including EHRs. Oracle Access Governance offers the following key features:
Oracle Health EHR is a widely used EHR system in healthcare. It supports comprehensive patient care management, clinical decision support, and data sharing across healthcare providers. When integrated with Oracle Access Governance, the orchestration of identity across Oracle Health EHR becomes seamless and highly secure. This integration provides healthcare organizations with a unified approach to managing user access across both clinical and administrative platforms, along with the following benefits:
With its identity orchestration capabilities, Access Governance checks that access rights are managed throughout a user’s lifecycle in the system. This orchestration is particularly powerful when combined with Oracle Health EHR, as healthcare roles constantly change between shifts, departments, and even job functions.
Imagine that a physician at a large hospital needs temporary access to patient data from a different department. With Access Governance, the system can dynamically adjust access based on the physician’s role and immediate needs. When the need has passed, the system automatically revokes access, so that no permissions linger. By automating these processes, healthcare organizations reduce the common pitfalls of manual access control, such as forgotten permissions or delays in revoking access. This level of orchestration help ensure a balance between operational efficiency and data security.
The Oracle Access Governance integration with Oracle Health EHR offers a robust solution for healthcare organizations seeking to strengthen their identity management. This integration delivers the security and automation found as a growing essential for protecting sensitive patient data, while offering smooth, efficient workflows. As healthcare evolves, utilizing Oracle Access Governance can be crucial for staying ahead of security threats and addressing regulatory compliance needs.
