Sharing patient information using conventional communication methods is bogging down healthcare clinics as demand for service is increasing. Resistance to updating to modern communications that fit with the pace of life and work today is largely due to concerns around protecting patient privacy.\u00a0Traditional email isn\u2019t compliant\u00a0because of how it moves information across the Internet in an unknown path with no control on the part of the sender or receiver. Brightsquid Secure-Mail solves that problem and has been proven HIPAA compliant by third-party audits.<\/p>

Patient privacy compliance is the reason\u00a0over 30,000 clinics have a Brightsquid Secure-Mail account<\/strong>\u00a0to share patient information instead of using traditional email. The Brightsquid platform was built to be compliant first and is audited regularly to ensure continued compliance with regulations.<\/p>

In a recent third-party audit,\u00a0Brightsquid Secure-Mail passed the compliance assessment in all 11 relevant assessment categories<\/strong>\u00a0for a total of 81 examined elements of compliance:<\/p>

  1. Security Standards and General Rules (2 elements): PASS<\/li>
  2. Administrative Safeguards (30 elements): PASS<\/li>
  3. Physical Safeguards (12 elements): PASS<\/li>
  4. Technical Safeguards (12 elements): PASS<\/li>
  5. Organizational Requirements (6 elements): PASS<\/li>
  6. Notification by Business Associate (1 element): PASS<\/li>
  7. Law Enforcement Delay (1 element): PASS<\/li>
  8. Administrative Requirements and Burden of Proof (1 element): PASS<\/li>
  9. Uses and disclosures: organizational requirements (3 elements): PASS<\/li>
  10. Other requirements relating to uses & disclosures of protected health information (9 elements): PASS<\/li>
  11. Amendment of protected health information (4 elements): PASS<\/li><\/ol>

    As your partner in compliant communication, maintaining the privacy of your patient data is job 1 at Brightsquid. We continue to strive for constant compliance so that you are operating within the law, and\u00a0together we can diminish the likelihood of a breach at your practice.<\/strong><\/p>

    Using Brightsquid Secure-Mail, you can\u00a0confidently share all the relevant patient information needed<\/strong>\u00a0to provide the best care with the greatest efficiency.<\/p>
