ZixGateway® Inbound
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, passed as part of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), calls for protected health information (PHI) to be rendered unreadable and unusable. Under the new legislation, healthcare organizations can be fined up to $1.5 million for violating the rules protecting patient privacy. Their business associates are also covered as part of the most recent changes.
For many healthcare organizations, safeguarding email sent by its employees is not enough. They also want to proactively identify any potential vulnerabilities. ZixCorp Email Encryption Services are an important solution in the protection of sensitive data, and now ZixGateway Inbound provides a way for healthcare organizations to better manage their compliance with HITECH and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
With ZixGateway Inbound, inbound email is content-scanned for unsecure PHI. When vulnerabilities are identified, both the business associate and the appropriate internal compliance manager can be automatically notified. In addition, ZixGateway Inbound provides reports that log the details of inbound vulnerabilities. The reports can be sent to the compliance or security staff on a daily basis for additional review and action. This enables healthcare organizations to proactively identify vulnerabilities, as well as protect their patients and their brand.
