How Doctors and Medical Professionals Use Delivered Secure
Doctors, nurses, medical billers, hospitals, and other healthcare professionals handle some of the most sensitive personal information in existence -- protected health information (PHI). HIPAA regulations impose strict requirements on how this information is transmitted and stored, and the penalties for non-compliance can be severe. Delivered Secure provides a simple, secure way for healthcare organizations to send and receive sensitive files and messages without the risks associated with email, fax, or consumer file sharing services.
Medical professionals use Delivered Secure not only to exchange sensitive files, but also to aide in diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions by securely sharing large diagnostic imaging files between physicians, specialists, and patients.
Which healthcare professionals are using Delivered Secure for secure file sharing?
Doctors and specialists use Delivered Secure to securely send medical records, lab results, and referral documents to other physicians, patients, and insurance companies while maintaining full HIPAA compliance.
Nurses and care coordinators use Delivered Secure to share sensitive patient messages, care plans, and treatment updates with patients, families, and other members of the care team without relying on unsecured email.
Medical billers and coders use Delivered Secure to exchange billing records, insurance claim documents, and payment information with insurance companies and vendors, protecting sensitive financial and health data in transit.
Hospitals and health systems use Delivered Secure to transfer large diagnostic imaging files such as MRI and CT scans between departments, affiliated practices, and patients -- overcoming the file size limitations of traditional email.
Why do healthcare organizations need Delivered Secure?
HIPAA requires that protected health information be encrypted in transit and that organizations maintain audit trails of who accessed patient data and when. Email and fax do not meet these requirements. Email creates multiple unencrypted copies of attachments across servers, phones, and backups. Fax machines store copies in memory and many virtual fax services convert faxes to unencrypted email attachments. Delivered Secure encrypts files end-to-end, provides delivery confirmation and audit trails, and allows senders and recipients to permanently delete messages when they are no longer needed.
Delivery Confirmation for Compliance
Delivered Secure's delivery confirmation feature provides healthcare organizations with proof that recipients accessed their secure messages and files. This auditable trail is invaluable for HIPAA compliance documentation, helping organizations demonstrate that sensitive health information was delivered securely and accessed only by authorized recipients.
