Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) February 13, 2005 -- Carefx Corporation and Imprivata®, the enterprise single sign-on appliance company, today announced the signing of a strategic partnership to help Healthcare Organizations simplify and improve caregivers access to clinical information. Imprivata offers the single sign-on solution while Carefx provides the healthcare specific, standards-based components for user and patient context management across multiple participating applications.

The solution is powered by Imprivata OneSign® as well as Carefxs Fusionfx Context Manager and Fusionfx Context Channel. Fusionfx Context Manager implements the Health Level Seven (HL-7) CCOW standards for interoperability, while Imprivata OneSign uses innovative technology to enable secure, seamless SSO to all applications, eliminating the burden and expense associated with customized scripting or integration.

The partnership between Carefx and Imprivata provides end-users with single sign-on (SSO) not only to network resources and non-CCOW applications but also to applications utilizing CCOW. This combination addresses cost containment, productivity, security, and regulatory compliance.

"One of the major benefits of Imprivatas OneSign product is that it uses a patent-pending technology called APG (Application Profile Generator) that automatically recognizes how to access software programs," said Terrence Macaleer, Carefx Chief Executive Officer. "This is a big selling point for organizations that do not have the resources for scripting."

Imprivata OneSign is quickly evolving into the choice for single sign-on within the healthcare industry -- helping IT mitigate and manage security risk while delivering greater convenience and productivity to clinicians has always been Imprivatas priority and mission." said Patrick Morley, CEO Imprivata. By partnering with Carefx, Imprivata is now providing Healthcare Organizations a seamless and powerful solution that leverages the advantages of single sign-on (SSO) and context management (CCOW) for improved patient safety, and greater HIPAA compliance.

Carefx Corporation, along with its many partners, provides healthcare organizations with easy to use, secure, and cost effective solutions. These solutions apply state of the art technology to existing information systems to provide interoperability, investment protection, and regulatory compliance which in turn improves patient care, reduces costs, and increases clinical productivity.
