This user access management system standardizes all the VistA, & CPRS menus, and options across a network in a facility, a VISN, or the region it complies with and has the latest Information Security Guidelines. Mynapin integrates seamlessly with the VA IT Network & VistA system to provide an integrated system for meeting elevated OI&T standards for user access management.

Patient Safety & Care:
The Mynapin system enables the VA employees to provide patient care, without any interruption. This is achieved through.

• Efficient assignment of ‘sufficient’ access to service providers to VistA and CPRS through elimination of missed key or menus causing system lock out.
  
  
• Better reporting and notification to help avoid complete elimination or unanticipated account lockouts due to prematurely expiring accounts while the employee is still working at the facility, a problem that routinely happens in the current system.
  
  
• Avoiding account activation delays when clinical staff returns after absence by recalling previous menus and options automatically.

Access Security & Audit:
The system automatically assigns the users only the access required. It also tracks and eliminates unused/dormant accounts. Fully integrated with VistA, user access is secured by the existing Access code /Verify code. Both the application and the data reside on a server within the VA’s IT Network, which is secured behind the VA Firewall.

Elimination of Communication Time Lag:
The system sends real time messages to all the concerned personnel over the VA Exchange/Outlook and eliminates communication delays.

Time Savings in Process Execution:
The average time and effort savings for new user account creation is reduced to 2 hours as compared to 150 Man-Hours a month and an average waiting period of 1 week.

Elimination of Paper:
This automated system results in elimination of paper records.

Over all Benefits to VA facilities are:

• Timely help desk services for resets and activations
  
• Timely creation and access configuration of employee accounts.
  
• Elimination of backlog and delays in account setup particularly in those months that have a high influx of Resident Physicians and Nursing staff.
  
• Elimination of the chances of employee account lockouts that cause interruption in important business functions.
  
• Elimination of the chances of improper access setup i.e. employee is not assigned the appropriate access to perform his job.
