Rising healthcare cost forces providers and payors to examine their costs in all aspects of delivering and managing care. Administrative and financial transactions associated with healthcare delivery make up a whopping 20% - 25% of the overall costs, making them a key focus for improving efficiency and, not incidentally, improving the bottom line of hospitals, pharmacies, MCOs and other insurers. Automating these processes is a main focus of HIPAA legislation – an initiative which leaves no healthcare participant on the sidelines in efforts to automate their transactions while ensuring privacy and security of Protected Health Information (PHI).
Tumbleweed Secure Internet Messaging Products
Tumbleweed’s secure Internet messaging products meet the requirements set fourth by the HIPAA legislation. Capabilities include the ability to:
- Identify and securely deliver messages containing PHI for HIPAA compliance
- Track and document compliance with HIPAA regulations for regulatory and legal risk mitigation
- Protect the network from e-mail-based threats including spam, viruses, worms and hackers
- Repository Encryption service that allows files to be securely encrypted until authorized user connects and requests them
Stop Inadvertent Disclosure of PHI, Block Viruses and Spam
In addition to securing Internet communications, Tumbleweed's solutions also scan for and block in-bound malicious code and spam, preserving network bandwidth and enhancing employee productivity. Because Tumbleweed's health care solutions reside at the gateway rather than the desktop, there is no need to make changes to existing enterprise systems, applications and protocols. In addition, Tumbleweed's server-based applications do not require the user to change their desktop software or to learn new procedures, so health care organizations can define and enforce communications policies without re-training employees, physicians, nurses, administrators, partners, patients, or other Internet users.
