Reports
To open the Reports page:
-
In the Admin Console, go to Reports > Run or schedule a report. The Reports page lists the reports available in Imprivata PatientSecure, along with a brief description of each report type.
-
Select a report to run immediately or schedule to run at an interval you specify.
Reports are saved in either an Excel (.XLSX) file or a .CSV file in the
Downloads
folder on your local drive or (for scheduled reports) in the scheduled reports output folder or subfolder that you specify.-
For reports with multiple worksheets, when you select the CSV format, each worksheet is created as a separate CSV file with the worksheet name appended to the filename.
-
For reports that are run immediately, the CSV files are bundled into a .ZIP file, available for download.
-
For scheduled reports, the CSV files are bundled into a .ZIP file that is saved to the scheduled reports output folder on the fileshare.
-
For emailed reports, the CSV files are attached to the email as separate attachments. The total size of all attachments will not exceed 20 MB.
-
IMPORTANT:Patient information is available in many Imprivata PatientSecure reports. Be sure to keep the report files secure.
-
Data Types in PatientSecure
There are several classes of data used in PatientSecure reports:
-
Interactions Data
The best way to think of interactions data is in the context of the end result - a certain set of PatientSecure activities between the registrar and patient that result in an outcome. The goal of a registrar using PatientSecure is to either enroll or authenticate a patient.
For more information, see Calculating PatientSecure Interactions.
-
Scan Data
Scan-based data are the activities with a biometric, generated by the actual palm scanner device.
-
Opt-outs Data
Opt-outs are activities without a biometric. For more information on opt-outs, see Patient Opt-Out Tracking.
For more information on how PatientSecure calculates enrollment and authentication activities, see PatientSecure Activities.
Terminology
The following terms are used in this topic:
-
Gen 2 palm scanner - the Keyo hand guide with the Fujitsu F-Pro Palm Vein Sensor, which supported touchless authentication for patients. Also referred to as the Fujitsu F-Pro sensors or the M5 sensors.
-
Gen 1 palm scanner - the Fujitsu hand guide with the M3 palm vein sensor. The older generation of palm scanner hand guides that requires patients to place their hand on the scanner for all enrollment and authentication workflows. Also referred to as "Fujitsu V2 sensors".
-
Fujitsu V1 sensors - a Fujitsu sensor version no longer supported by PatientSecure 4.x and later. This version should only be referenced when running the
Findscanners
Windows Powershell tool, as the tool may find PatientSecure clients with very old palm scanners attached. -
I-Format biometrics - the biometric type captured by the Gen 1 palm scanner.
-
R-Format biometrics - the biometric type captured by the Gen 2 touchless authentication palm scanner.
Report Types
There are two kinds of reports in Imprivata PatientSecure:
-
Summary reports contain statistics or a count of records.
For example, the Enrollments Summary report contains counts of total enrollments for the selected date range.
-
Detail reports contain patient records of an activity.
For example, the Patients Found Details report contains patient records of successful authentications by a specific registrar (user) and client (machine).
The following report types are available in Imprivata PatientSecure:

Management Reports include summary reports with a global overview of interactions and other areas of interest for all locations available to you.
Why you may use these reports:
-
You want to understand the usage of PatientSecure for your organization and how well PatientSecure is being adopted.
-
You want to view the usage of PatientSecure for a particular department and its staff.
-
You would like to see what departments are using PatientSecure the most relative to all other departments.
Report | Description |
---|---|
Expanded Interactions Summary |
Displays daily counts of interactions, total scans per interaction type, client version, and scanner type for the selected date range. The report file contains separate tabs for data by organization, facility, department, machine, machine type, client version, scanner type. For the machine type:
For scanner type:
All mapped machines on the date displayed with or without activity are reported; this includes deleted machines with activity on the activity date. NOTE: This report may take a long time to run on large databases when more than one day is selected. |
Interactions Summary |
Displays counts of one or more interactions — patients found, patients not found, patients enrolled, opt-outs and registrar declines (depending on your settings) for the selected date range, grouped by day, week, month (default), quarter, or year. The report file contains separate tabs for data by organization, facility, department, user, and machine. For the machine type:
Access the Interactions Summary report directly from the Reports > Quick Links menu. |
Interactions Metrics Summary |
Displays the average number of scans for each interaction, in the locations you select.
This report illustrates the efficiency of scanner use in the selected locations and gives managers insight into individual users who may need assistance or additional training with workflow steps and patient communication. |
Merged Records Summary |
Compares the number of records that are protected from duplication with records that remain unprotected in your source hospital system. When duplicate records are merged in your hospital information system (HIS), the resulting record may be a Imprivata PatientSecure record, with a biometric scan attached, or it may be a record for a patient who is not enrolled in Imprivata PatientSecure. There can be only one Imprivata PatientSecure record for each patient, so when a patient is enrolled in Imprivata PatientSecure, their medical record is protected from duplication. |
Utilization Summary |
Counts of records where PatientSecure was utilized as part of registration interactions by organization, facility, department and/or user.
|

Lookup Reports provide quick access to records for a selected user or machine.
Why you may use these reports:
-
You want to understand how well a particular user is using PatientSecure.
-
