The Methodist Hospital, one of the country's largest non-profit health care providers, has selected CPSG to implement and configure their Identity Management (IdM) system.
Prior to the system, hospital physicians at the Methodist Hospital were required to log in to multiple systems every day in order to perform routine tasks. Often the credentials needed to log in differed from system to system, causing confusion and difficulty for the medical staff.
CPSG worked with the Methodist hospital in implementing and configuring one of the leading Identity Management User Provisioning (UP) products. This product was also previously used for implementation of the medical team’s single sign-on initiative.
After a comprehensive review of all required business objectives, CPSG facilitated architecture evaluations and assessments to determine the ideal approach for building connectors and controls. Based on findings from the assessment, CPSG assembled a team to execute the first phase of the project plan. This plan was delivered in multiple steps in order to deliver value rapidly and in a timely manner.
CPSG proposed a complete phased approach for implementing IdM which included:
- Identify applications with 80% impact on physicians’ daily workflow
- Analyze technology behind each application space
- Document the current “As-Is” Change, Remove, Update and Disable (“CRUD”) processes through use of CPSG’s repeatable processes
- Design options for provisioning to each system and review those designs with user community and technical team
- Implement chosen provisioning solution for each targeted system to the satisfaction of the medical staff
- Integrate solution into the software vendor’s management console and train users to administer user ID’s moving forward
