Solving Healthcare’s Access Management Crisis Through Automation

Solving Healthcare’s Access Management Crisis Through Automation

The healthcare workforce operates in perpetual motion. Nurses rotate between shifts and departments, contractors cycle through short-term assignments, and clinical roles are constantly evolving. This endless flux creates one of the industry’s most underappreciated operational risks: excessive or incorrectly assigned access.In this dynamic environment, every staffing change – whether it’s a new hire, department transfer, or contract completion – should immediately trigger corresponding access updates. Yet when provisioning depends on manual workflows or fragmented systems, the process invariably falls behind operational reality. The consequences are predictable: orphaned accounts accumulate, permissions become outdated, and the organization’s exposure to both internal and external threats expands. In the worst-case scenario, these risks can result in fraud, data breaches, and costly compliance violations and fines.

Unlike most industries where joiner-mover-leaver (JML) events occur at predictable intervals, healthcare organizations face relentless workforce transitions. Clinical staff regularly shift between units and responsibilities. Temporary workers join for brief assignments before departing, often without proper deprovisioning. Part-time schedules, rotating assignments, and shared responsibilities mean individual access requirements can transform dramatically within days.
