Novell (Nasdaq: NOVL) today announced that Catholic Healthcare West, a 9,500-bed hospital system, has implemented a Novell(R) solution to increase security and strengthen its compliance initiatives. The organization centralized identity management with Novell Identity Manager 3 to ensure only authorized users have access to patient data in accordance with HIPAA regulations, reducing administration time by 70 percent. The hospital system also anticipates saving $1.5 million by deploying Novell’s SUSE(R) Linux Enterprise Server for a more flexible, open environment.
