Athenahealth, a healthcare technology company, was facing challenges with its legacy infrastructure as it expanded its patient and practitioner base. The company had multiple account credentials for patients, and each practice had to register patients and store their data separately. This led to a complex and disjointed user experience. Furthermore, the company was dealing with the challenge of ensuring data accessibility while maintaining robust security. The company needed a solution that would reduce friction, improve user experience, and enhance patient outcomes without compromising on security. The challenge was to find a solution that could handle the sensitive and highly regulated data that impacts people's lives, while providing a seamless digital experience for users.
Athenahealth partnered with Okta to implement the Okta Identity Cloud, an identity platform designed to safely put the right data into the right hands. This platform was integrated with the various applications that patients and practitioners use to interact with athenahealth, aiming to deliver a seamless and secure digital experience for all users. Athenahealth deployed Okta to migrate 24 million patients from an existing registration system to a service called ‘login with athena.’ This provided patients with a single portal to access their medical information across various services and apps. The company also created frictionless registration experiences for over 8,000 patient portals on its network. Additionally, athenahealth deployed Okta's new DynamicScale technology to scale its login experience to tens of millions of users.
