CASE STUDY: Hawthorn Medical
Faced with strict new password policies
for the Medical Records System
(MRS), Hawthorn Medical implemented
DigitalPersona’s fingerprint authentication
solution for its 100+ physicians and medical
assistants working in their Urgent Care
and primary medical facility. Fingerprint
authentication has streamlined access to
the MRS as well as assisted with HIPAA
regulatory compliance mandates for
securing patient data.

Secure Authentication for Healthcare
The healthcare industry is challenged with
maintaining patient record privacy and
providing access to authorized healthcare
professionals while adhering to government
regulations such as the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Maintaining protection of the healthcare systems
throughout the lifecycle – from patients
and healthcare professionals, in offices, clinics
and hospitals, through record storage to insurance
and billing systems creates a huge burden
for network administrators.
