Healthcare providers are diligently looking for ways to expedite patient care, diagnosis and disease management. Evidence-based medicine is increasingly being leveraged and is becoming the tool of choice for physicians and medical personnel. Innovative tools like these are dependent on one of the most important components of good medicine today: information. Information improves the medical knowledge of healthcare professionals, speeds clinical diagnosis and in the end shortens the time to effective treatment. But there is a caveat. Information in a silo, by itself, will not have an impact. Information needs to be easily accessible, accurate and current, yet secure. Healthcare providers need to protect and control confidential patient information such as medical histories, diagnostic results, physician’s notes and financial information. This is not an option – it’s a mandate. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) has very specific directions and guidelines on how patient Personal Health Information (PHI) must be stored and protected. Leaking PHI whether inadvertent or malicious can result in sanctions, fines, civil suits and a negative impact on the image of the healthcare provider.
The Orchestria Solution for Healthcare protects and controls patient information wherever it is stored or used, significantly minimizing the risks associated with uncontrolled PHI. Orchestria protects confidential patient records and financials at the endpoint, message server, network and for data at rest. Orchestria helps Healthcare providers prevent data loss, ensure messaging compliance and enforce information classification and control.
Orchestria enables Healthcare providers to:
- Secure private patient information (medical histories, diagnostic results, financial information)
- Enable compliance with information protection regulations such as HIPAA
- Protect communications within the healthcare ecosystem (physicians, pharmacies and insurance providers)
- Classify information assets for patient medical records management and retention
