Patient Data Security app makes protection simpler

SALT LAKE CITY, USA: Data protection is one of the major concerns for healthcare institutions. In a move to make the protection of patient data easier and more secure, ITUS Med has launched a new compliance software solution to provide end-to-end encryption of patient healthcare information in an easy-to-use app.

The ITUS Med solution provides patients and healthcare facilities with maximum security for protected healthcare information that extends to all communications and transactions between facilities, physicians and patients. ITUS Med protects patient data all the way to the end user’s device for keyboard-to-keyboard security, for full compliance with the security element of Meaningful Use II.

ITUS Med provides a secure, branded app that integrates with existing infrastructure to facilitate secure communication and transactions with hospital systems, providers and billers.

Additionally, healthcare organization CFOs will enjoy the ROI this solution provides on both an actual savings to their bottom line as well as covering their organizations from potential lawsuits as well as fines from The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) if they are not secure and they end up having a breach.

Facilities can elect to install the solution locally or can opt to use the software via a hosted solution within ITUS Med’s HISP (Health Information Service Provider).

“As an organization, we have a great deal of experience with the issues surrounding the security of protected healthcare information. To meet these concerns for users, our solution provides end-to-end encryption from keyboard to keyboard with the help of an easy-to-use app. We are excited to premiere this new level of protection and convenience to facilities, physicians and patients today,” said ITUS Med President Chris Agnello
