Imprivata Tap and Go is only available to clinical departments. You can request Tap and Go badge readers and licenses on myHelpdesk or contact your Departmental Liaison with further questions about the service.
Imprivata Tap and Go provides both a convenient and secure way to log into clinical workstations. Instead of having to enter your CWID and password multiple times a day, you can use Tap and Go to log into your computer by simply tapping your WCM badge to a special reader connected to your computer. This saves time for busy clinicians who need to access systems while meeting with patients, accessing reports, and more.

Imprivata badge readers on selected workstations
Installation of Imprivata software on selected workstations

Cost and Fees
Current pricing for this service is available on our Rates page under the “Security Services” category.
There is no charge for residents or fellows who have WCM-provided CWIDs and require access to a standard badge tap and Single Sign-On license. However, they will not be provided clinical workflow licenses that integrate with Epic. This is only applicable for departments that have already purchased Imprivata licenses for their faculty and staff.
Service Requirements
Implementing Tap and Go requires coordination with a clinical office to:
Determine if your office meets criteria for implementation
Provide and confirm computer tag numbers, and which computers are privately used or shared (e.g., exam room kiosks)
Provide and confirm the CWIDs and roles of people who access office computers
Determine which computers will be connected to badge readers
ITS staff will work with your office to ensure these items are in place during the enrollment process.
