As a highly disciplined organization whose top priority is to provide life-saving services to its community, MCHD sought to increase the already high levels of protection it maintained for ensuring its staff of more than 260 workers efficiently exceeded rules and regulations and remained focused on its primary mission -- delivering quality patient care. After a thorough investigation into comprehensive monitoring and analysis solutions, MCHD chose SPECTOR 360 to monitor, capture and analyze the user activity and associated data on its 50 Windows Server computers and approximately 215 distributed workstations, 40 percent of which are mobile laptops.

SPECTOR 360 is the most comprehensive solution available to permit businesses and healthcare organizations to monitor, capture, record, analyze and act, across entire networks. SPECTOR 360's powerful yet intuitive analytics help organizations like MCHD proactively identify, audit and manage a broad set of issues, including: the review of acceptable use policies; the access, use and integrity of protected health information; the "meaningful use" of healthcare systems, tools, and processes; and the identification and tracking of security risk.
Finally, SPECTOR 360's web and Internet filtering and categorization capabilities allow MCHD to ensure the efficient and appropriate use of the Internet while tracking files entering and leaving the organization via FTP, HTTP and peer-to-peer applications.
“We can’t afford interference with productivity, and the community would not be tolerant of employees spending work time on things that are considered activities of low value,” said Curry. “SPECTOR 360’s web filtering has been an especially important and valuable feature for us, particularly with our toughbooks and laptops. Eighty percent of the time, they are disconnected from the network, and SPECTOR 360 provides us with confidence that web controls are functioning.”
To ensure maximum success for its monitoring initiative among its staff, MCHD developed a clear chain of command and process for the review of employee activities, and has proactively communicated its processes and acceptable use policy to all staff.
