We all agree that empowered healthcare against cyber attacks is all we need and the increasing number of it in the healthcare sector is scary. It doesn’t only lead to paralyzing the system but also hinders the provision of health facilities. This hindrance jeopardizes people’s health and even lives.
Efficient healthcare providers are always proactive in taking cybersecurity measures. Despite a limited budget, they strategically plan to acquire cybersecurity services and be in a safe zone and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the best example of it.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society(LLS) is the world’s largest nonprofit organization, which aims to make cancer patients’ lives easier, emphasizes early diagnosis, and funds life-saving cancer research in North America. When the LLS is about improving the quality of cancer patients’ lives, it is always concerned with productivity and efficiency.
The Problem
In North America, LLS offers easily accessible blood cancer-dedicated medical support through its 80 chapters. The biggest problem was the unavailability of IT staff; when a technical IT issue arose, they needed support or solutions to resolve it.
The second problem for LLS was a vast number of seasonal and temporary volunteers who needed provisioning and de-provisioning frequently.
Suddenly there was hope when dollar-sensitive price LLC found about the decreased prices of cloud-based applications. The decreased prices and increased productivity led LLS to invest in the cloud, and they have acquired the services of Webex, Box Yammer, and, more recently, Office 365, Concur, and Lync. When these cloud applications make the facility empower healthcare and improved their productivity, it raises concerns about security and identity management.
Here LLS tried many Single Sign-on solutions, but they came with frustrating engineering issues that made cloud app management unproductive and useless.
The Solution to Empowered Healthcare
LLS realized that they needed an identity solution that could help them focus on providing medical support to cancer patients rather than wasting hours and hours on complicated Identity management issues. It was also looking for a security solution that could handle engineering troubleshoots that arise after the integration of new cloud applications. The desperation brought the healthcare facility to OKTA.
OKTA officials helped LLS acquire the best security and identity management solutions that their previous identity management solutions could not offer. OKTA supported LLS in every aspect and there were zero to non-engineering problems that OKTA couldn’t handle efficiently. After implementing OKTA, LLS is much more satisfied and productive.
Conclusion
As soon as LLS infused OKTA in their security architecture, Provisioning new employees became smooth and fast. Whenever there is a new joiner, the prestigious healthcare provides them access to all the needed apps right away. There are no more delays in performing duties and achieving efficiency. They have cut costs by saving two full-time positions without compromising productivity.
Lesson For Healthcare Facilities
OKTA identity management solutions are the best and most productive for the healthcare sector because they streamline provisioning and de-provisioning efficiently. Their support is always there to help with engineering issues.
OKTA Providers
Your healthcare facility deserves the best identity management partner to manage all identities at the same place and integrate them as needed. D3C Consulting could integrate OKTA into your system effectively with full technical support.
