Healthcare Industry
The security of the data exchanged on day-to-day communications through connected devices is one of the highest challenges for hospitals, physician networks, pharmaceutical organizations, insurance companies and other Healthcare entities. Today the confidential and proprietary information such as the patient’s records or intellectual medical patents travels across the networks. This information needs to be protected while sustaining regulatory compliance and maintaining a secure network.
Kryptic Mobile Voice and SMS encryption services enable total data protection to Healthcare mobile users while providing compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and security rules.
SMS in Healthcare
SMS has two limitations when it comes to its use in the healthcare industry - in addition to being limited to 160 characters in a single SMS message, delivery of an SMS message is not guaranteed. That leaves users vulnerable to sending messages that contain health information that can be intercepted, read by and forwarded to anyone. It would appear that many physicians are eager to accommodate their patients through electronic communication, but are aware of the privacy considerations that must be addressed first. Our encrypted SMS service is suitable for use for communications bearing ePHI (electronic protected health information) data or includes an order for a patient to a hospital or other healthcare setting. SMS is very convenient and the attraction for the healthcare industry may be in using the technology to open up new ways of delivering medical services to those who, for economic or geographical reasons, cannot get medical advice as quickly and easily as they would like.
Privacy and security are the major concerns with healthcare messaging. These two factors are addressed by the combination message encryption (FIPS 140-2) and Trusted authentication. Messages are encrypted and routed through the Internet. In addition only members of your TrustGroup can send or receive encrypted messages from you.
