When Adam Gold, director of emerging technologies at University of California Irvine Medical Center in Orange, Calif., wanted to give clinicians “bring your own device” access to the Allscripts Mobile MD EMR system, he realized he had to address security concerns as soon as possible. That’s when CIO Jim Murray, Gold, and their team decided to create their own integrated mobile security system, which combines network access control with mobile device management.

“Users bring their own device and permission themselves to get on a wireless network so we don’t have to,” Gold said. Users gain access to an Internet connection, but before doing anything else, he said, they need to receive service activation in the AirWatch and Bradford systems.
