Process optimization in the medical sector aims at cutting costs while also increasing the quality of care. This requires cutting-edge IT technology that must meet very specific requirements:

• The greatest possible protection of sensitive data
• Access to information and resources solely for authorized persons and as needed for their tasks
• Secure transport of information

An ideal way to meet these needs is with secure identities. It must be possible to establish beyond a doubt and at all times who accesses which data when and with what permissions.

This is a necessary element of optimizing healthcare processes. Without it, it is not possible to achieve higher productivity, the use of electronic communications, controlled compliance with legal requirements and thus more time to focus on core tasks.
