MaxMD's mdSecureSend Helps Healthcare Providers Close Up Web Security Breeches
The expense of a security breech is measured in cost to public relations, litigation loss and also by HITECH fines. MaxMD offers secure technology to help reduce risks.
Fort Lee, NJ, October 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- A New York City Medical Center reported on September 27, 2010 that personal information, including names and clinical data for approximately 6,800 patients was accessible when the information was inadvertently exposed on a web page. The same report also announced that in 10 cases, social security numbers were accessible.
While details of the failure were not disclosed, similar cases have occurred when a “patient portal” was not properly protected against a web attack. The portal concept dates back to the beginning of the internet. The status quo tool has been outmoded with the advent of better technology, such as MaxMD’s mdSecureSend.
Using the mdSecureSend paradigm, any individual making contact with a provider follows a simple procedure to push data from outside of a firewall. The data is transparently made secure on a one way road to the healthcare provider. By closing up patient portals and using this improved communications workflow, the provider’s secure records remain intact and safe inside of the firewall.
