National Rehabilitation Provider Selects Egress Switch to Secure Confidential Patient Information Shared with External Third Parties
Pace Rehabilitation chooses Egress Switch to protect highly sensitive data shared electronically with healthcare professionals, legal consultants and third party insurers.
London, United Kingdom, December 11, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Egress Software Technologies today announces that the award-winning encryption solutions Egress Switch Secure Email and Switch Secure File Transfer have been adopted by forward-thinking rehabilitation services provider Pace Rehabilitation to secure confidential patient information shared electronically.
Founded in 2003, Pace Rehabilitation provides rehabilitation services related to mobility, acting as a single point of contact between patients and specialists from a range of disciplines, including prosthetics, orthotics, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and counselling. Moreover, as a large proportion of their clients have suffered major trauma, Pace Rehabilitation’s services also extend to liaising with third party insurers regarding referrals, and providing expert opinion and evidence for legal cases. As this work is heavily reliant upon sharing highly sensitive client information between both individuals and groups of organisations, Pace Rehabilitation identified the need to protect and control this data when in transit.
Scott Richardson, of Pace Rehabilitation, explains: “Every day, Pace Rehabilitation exchanges confidential data with a range of external third parties across the country, including patient sensitive legal instructions from barristers, solicitors, insurers and case managers. As a result, we selected Switch Secure Email and Switch Secure File Transfer to provide a flexible and secure mechanism for this correspondence and any subsequent classified reports that we send, ensuring confidentiality is maintained between us and the intended (sole) recipient, which is particularly essential in litigation cases.”
The first, and currently only, CESG CPA certified email encryption solution, Switch Secure Email offers independent UK Government assurance that it is fit for purpose when sharing sensitive information electronically. In addition, with unique ‘follow the data’ control and comprehensive audit logs provided as standard for all Switch encryption services, users remain in control of the information they send electronically, even after if as reached a recipient’s mailbox. In particular, package restrictions and the ability to revoke access enables users to, if necessary, place limitations on what recipients can do with the information that is shared with them. In addition, recipients of Switch secure packages can reply securely and free of charge.
Speaking about today’s announcement, Egress UK Sales Manager Kelly McCann comments: “Pace Rehabilitation has taken a positive step to protect patients’ sensitive information and provide a secure environment for data sharing. This will bring benefits across all areas of the business, not only increasing patient confidence in the service, and protecting the organisation against potential data breaches and the subsequent ICO fines, but also in providing the efficiency and cost savings that are associated with using electronic communication over physical methods, such as fax and post. We look forward to working closely with the team at Pace Rehabilitation to realise these on-going objectives.”
