DIGITAL IDENTITY AND SECURITY SERVICES for the public sector

HEALTHROAM DIGITAL IDENTITY TECHNOLOGY with built in access control enables people and devices to operate simply and efficiently across the public sector landscape. Offering seamless connectivity without relying on guest Wi-Fi or additional IT systems.

Healthroam in Focus, What You Can Achieve - Case Study

The primary focus of this project will be to orchestrate existing ICB Wi-Fi infrastructures to support healthcare professionals and frontline staff working across all primary care sites (circa 400 sites).

The main objective will be to demonstrate use of existing Wi-Fi infrastructures, incorporating innovative new identity and cloud-based access control technologies. This will create streamlined connectivity opportunities for healthcare agencies across the ICB locality. Furthermore, this project will expand on the existing Wi-Fi deployments where needed to realise new Primary Care Hub Sites, sites of multiple occupancy, shared clinical spaces and support collaborative working.

This project aims to align wider ICS strategic goals:

• Integrated Care – NHS, Social Care, Private & 3rd Sector agencies

• Rapid Response Services – Vaccinations, Health Inequality, Pandemic, Elective Recovery

• Support de-centralisation programmes of Acute services.

• Align with enterprise mobility requirements outlined by Community Services.

• Estate utilisation and rationalisation programmes.

To achieve the objectives outlined above this project will overlay cyber security technologies procured from Healthroam Ltd. This innovative identity technology will allow staff to enrol their device for a crypto digital certificate using their NHSMail account and facilitate seamless Wi-Fi authentication. Policy-based access control will allow partner agencies and staff secure access to localised services, including but not limited to clinical systems and HSCN secure boundary. This project will be split into three distinct phases or methods: o Timeline 3 months o Timeline 12 months inclusive

• Technology proof-of-concept at sites outlined in the scope of works.

• Overlay new technologies to the existing ICB Wi-Fi infrastructure.

• Expand existing Wi-Fi network to support strategic need.

The benefits of this project are to utilise and optimise existing W-Fi estate in line with ICS and NHS England strategic goals. Provide reliable, high-speed connectivity for all stakeholders/ partners across the wider ICS. Increase cyber security in line with NHS England MFA mandate 2024 with seamless digital key Wi-Fi authentication and authorisation. Realise ROI and cost savings through consolidation of infrastructure, HSCN connections and estates across the locality. Build a model for future ways of working for frontline staff across public, private and 3rd sector healthcare agencies.
