You’ve entered a new era of healthcare and Virtual Care is playing an important role in the success of your clinic. The way you implement at Virtual Care has important implications for patient outcomes, patient satisfaction, and the viability of your clinic.
Secure-Mail forms the the compliant and user friendly foundation of your Virtual Cre system.
When you offer patients the option to connect through secure messaging, patient outcomes improve because attachment, engagement, and treatment adherence all increase. Continuity also strengthens, and the use of walk-in clinics, ERs, and online virtual care services is reduced.
Clinics using Secure-Mail increase average daily visits and focus clinician time on the most impactful interactions. Many patients are more likely to seek out care when clinics add the convenience of secure messaging to the ways they communicate.

Privacy compliance is good for business. Following compliant practices mitigates the risks posed by cyber threats and privacy breaches which must be reported. We can help with your Privacy Impact Assessment, PIPEDA compliance, and ensure you’re operating in compliance with HIPAA.
Privacy breaches happen in healthcare every day.
Statistics show your clinic has a 25% chance of suffering a cyber attack in the next 2.5 years. Since privacy breach reporting became law, the province of Alberta has received dozens of breach reports every week. Healthcare is the only industry in which breaches from the inside outnumber breaches from the outside, usually a training issue.
When your healthcare clinic follows the best practices laid out in the privacy compliance regulations, and policies and procedures established in your Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), you build a strong defense against the threat of a privacy breach.
Compliance is an ongoing effort in your clinic. Regulations change with the landscape. New ransomware and phishing attacks are unleashed every day. As your clinic evolves, so must your policies and procedures, and all your staff should receive regular privacy compliance training to help them identify and combat any threat to clinic security.
One of the largest unreported crimes after ransomware attacks is email compromise. Healthcare clinic staff are 40% more likely to click on phishing emails because they’re busy and attackers target them for the value of patient records.
You can help eliminate the threat of privacy breach through email by using ransomware-blocking Brightsquid Secure-Mail instead. Secure-Mail looks and feels just like email and is purpose built for healthcare clinics with features like Shared Inbox and read Receipts and it complies with privacy regulations across North America and Europe.
Most health information data breaches in recent years have been due to mistakes or security lapses inside healthcare organizations. 25% of privacy breaches in healthcare involved employee error.
Assess the risks to the integrity of your clinic with a professional Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA). A comprehensive PIA done by expert privacy consultants identifies where in your clinic there is risk of patient data breach and determines your strategies for mitigation including clinic policies and training for all staff.
