SecurEnds Epic Identity Governance
Epic Identity Governance, built around positions—not just users.
Automate Epic provisioning, deprovisioning, access requests, and user access reviews while governing EMP and SER records, templates, sub-templates, clinical credentials, and position-based access from one Identity Governance platform. SecurEnds connects workforce identity, provider identity, policy, approvals, fulfillment, reconciliation, and audit evidence in a single closed-loop process.
EMP & SER Lifecycle
Template-Level Governance
API + Batch
Bi-Directional
Clinical access changes as quickly as the workforce does.
Healthcare employees often hold multiple positions, work across departments, report to different supervisors, and require provider records sourced from systems outside the HCM. SecurEnds brings these identities, records, and entitlements into a unified governance model.
Why generic application provisioning is not enough for Epic
Epic access is shaped by clinical responsibilities, provider credentials, concurrent positions, and native security objects. A successful integration must understand these relationships instead of treating Epic as a simple account target.
01Multiple Positions per Employee
A single employee may hold several active positions at once, each with different managers, departments, schedules, and access needs. Flattening those positions into one generic role weakens provisioning accuracy and makes deprovisioning risky.
02Workforce and Provider Identity Separation
EMP and SER records serve different purposes and may originate from different authoritative systems. They must be correlated, linked, and governed without creating duplicate identities or orphaned provider records.
03Native Epic Security Complexity
Epic access is commonly delivered through templates and sub-templates that aggregate security classes. Governance must preserve this hierarchy so administrators and reviewers understand exactly what is being granted.
04High-Risk Workforce Changes
Transfers, rotations, temporary assignments, and departures must remove only obsolete access while preserving permissions still required for patient care, on-call coverage, and remaining positions.
05Reviewer Context and Accountability
Managers need position, department, supervisor, and entitlement context to make meaningful certification decisions. Technical lists without business context lead to review fatigue and rubber-stamping.
06Integration Variability
Epic environments may expose APIs, batch interfaces, or a combination of both. The connector must support the available methods while maintaining reliable, bi-directional synchronization.
07Audit Evidence Fragmentation
Requests, approvals, provisioning actions, review decisions, and confirmations are often stored in different systems. This makes it difficult to prove who approved access and whether the change was implemented correctly.
08Clinical Access Cannot Be Over-Simplified
Over-provisioning increases privacy and compliance risk, but under-provisioning can delay care. Epic governance must balance least privilege with continuity of clinical operations.
Complete Epic Identity Governance and Administration
Extend enterprise IGA into Epic with lifecycle automation, position-level access precision, native entitlement governance, and audit-ready evidence.
Position-Aware Identity Model
Represent every position an employee holds, including its permissions, supervisor, department, and review context. Access is re-derived when a position changes or ends.
EMP Record Provisioning
Create, update, and deactivate Epic EMP records while linking the templates and sub-templates appropriate to each active position.
SER Provider Lifecycle
Create and govern SER provider records from an authoritative clinical credentialing source, then link them to corresponding EMP records when clinical access is required.
Native Epic Entitlements
Ingest Epic templates and sub-templates as first-class entitlements while preserving their relationship to underlying security classes.
Context-Aware Access Requests
Request Epic access for a specific position, route it through configurable approvals, and automatically fulfill the approved template associations.
User Access Reviews
Present Epic access with position and template context, route each review to the correct supervisor, and translate decisions into link or delink actions.
Joiner, Mover, Leaver Automation
Update only the access affected by a workforce change. Preserve access for active positions and deactivate the account after the final position ends.
API and Batch Integration
Support both API and batch file interfaces for identity ingestion, entitlement discovery, provisioning, deprovisioning, and reconciliation.
Audit-Ready Evidence
Capture the originating request or review, decision, entitlement, EMP or SER record, timestamp, implementation action, and confirmation.
Grant and revoke access without disrupting patient care.
SecurEnds links Epic templates to the positions that require them. When one position changes, only that position’s access changes. Other active responsibilities remain untouched.

Common questions about the SecurEnds Epic Connector
Does the connector support both EMP and SER records?
Yes. SecurEnds manages EMP user records and SER provider records, supports linked EMP/SER scenarios, and can support standalone SER records when a provider reference is needed without a full login identity.
How does SecurEnds handle employees with multiple positions?
Each position is modeled independently with its own permissions and supervisor. SecurEnds unions the required access onto one Epic identity while retaining the position context used for requests, approvals, reviews, and deprovisioning.
What happens when only one position ends?
SecurEnds removes only the templates associated with the ended position. Access required for other active positions remains in place. The EMP record is deactivated after the final active position ends.
Can access-review decisions be fulfilled automatically?
Yes. Certification decisions can translate directly into link or delink actions on the EMP record, creating a closed-loop process from review decision to Epic remediation.
Does the connector require a specific Epic integration method?
No. It supports API and batch file integration so the deployment can align with the interfaces available in a particular Epic environment.
How are provider credentials handled?
SER data can be sourced from an authoritative clinical credentialing system separate from the HCM or identity provider, helping keep provider records aligned with current clinical credentials.
Can Epic be governed with other enterprise applications?
Yes. Epic identities and entitlements participate in the same SecurEnds governance framework used for workforce lifecycle, access requests, certifications, policy, reporting, and audit across the enterprise.
What evidence is available for auditors?
SecurEnds can preserve the originating request or review, approval or certification decision, entitlement affected, EMP or SER record, implementation action, timestamp, status, and confirmation.
Maintain least privilege with complete governance evidence.
Every access change is tied to a request, review, decision, entitlement, identity record, timestamp, and confirmation—providing end-to-end traceability from business intent to Epic implementation.
