User account provisioning and deactivation workflows

Purpose

2. Automatically synchronize access between HR, communication, EHR, scheduling, and medical device management systems, reducing manual errors and fulfilling audit requirements.

3. Implement automation for hospital departments to enforce least privilege access, rapidly revoke access in emergencies, and standardize IT communication for new hires or terminated staff.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated trigger from HRMS on new hire, role change, or termination event.

2. Manual trigger by departmental admin for ad-hoc account changes.

3. Scheduled automation for periodic access reviews or bulk deactivation.

4. Automatedly triggered by badge access changes or device return confirmation.
