South Jersey Healthcare uses Tools4ever

As a leader in providing quality identity and access management solutions, Tools4ever continues to be especially proficient in developing, implementing and automating user account management processes within the healthcare setting.

Tools4ever, the worldwide market leader in identity and access management solutions with more than five million user accounts, announced today that South Jersey Healthcare, based in Vineland, New Jersey, has implemented User Management Resource Administrator (UMRA) to standardize and streamline its user account management processes throughout the organization.

A nonprofit healthcare organization made up three major regional hospitals and more than 60 outpatient care locations, South Jersey Healthcare uses UMRA to assist with the standardization of account creation and management for the more than 6,000 employees, as well as to provide employees within the organization with the correct access rights to internal systems.

Before UMRA, South Jersey Healthcare employees entered account data using their own conventions - such as custom passwords and logins - which often led to error, confusion and lost productivity. Tools4ever's UMRA easily allows leaders at South Jersey Healthcare to customize electronic forms for account creation while not burdening the employees in charge of this task with elevated rights. Instead of free form data entry, UMRA's electronic templates have drop-down menus with information including department names, radio buttons with locations and addresses built in, as well as mandatory fields required to create an account.

"UMRA has helped clean up Active Directory to make it more consistent and useful for our entire organization," says Andrew Gahm, systems and security engineer at South Jersey Healthcare.

Departmental, IT and health system directors at South Jersey Healthcare now are assured that the information included in their account is accurate and correct, and the organization no longer needs to focus time on cleaning up messes or correcting account disparities from accounts that were not previously created correctly, says Gahm.

As a worldwide leader in identity and access management solutions, Tools4ever is especially proficient in developing, implementing and automating user account management processes within the healthcare setting. Tools4ever has carried out thousands of implementations for healthcare organization such as South Jersey Healthcare including South County Hospital in Wakefield, Rhode Island, CentraState Healthcare System in Freedom Township, New Jersey, and Providence Hospital, in Columbia, South Carolina.

"As hospital and healthcare leaders continue to be met with mandates and reform, solutions such as automated user account management will be increasingly vital to them and ever important as they seek new ways to not only manage data, but managing who has access to certain and specific data," says Dean Wiech, managing director of Tools4ever. "Tools like UMRA are powerful allies to IT leaders and organizational management as they allow for regular information audits to be conducted and even streamline the account creation and data management process."
