Challenge
Boulder Community Health (BCH) is a leading healthcare provider which delivers essential medical services to Boulder, Colorado, and surrounding areas. With HIPAA and other regulatory requirements top of mind, BCH needed to enforce strict security controls without disrupting workflows. The nonprofit health system wanted to synchronize user access in real time while also leveraging automation to reduce administrative burdens and improve operational efficiency.
Solution
We executed a phased identity modernization strategy centered on integrating Okta Workforce Identity with Epic, BCH’s electronic medical records (EMR) system. Starting with a structured discovery and design phase, we created a secure, automated identity platform tailored to the unique complexity, compliance demands, and operational workflows of BCH’s environment.
Strategic Discovery and Design
In-depth discovery and a future-state architecture aligned with BCH’s security, compliance, and operational goals
Unified Workforce Identity
Simple, secure access for employees, contractors, and partners via Okta Workforce Identity
Systems Integration

Epic Connector

Impact
Partnering with BeyondID, Boulder Community Health successfully streamlined its workforce identity and access management program to advance its business goals. The integration of Okta and Epic, combined with automated workflows, has allowed BCH to reduce security risks, improve compliance, and position itself for continued growth and success in a rapidly evolving landscape.
