Ensure that electronic healthcare records meet HIPAA compliance requirements with state-of-the-art encryption.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) calls for national standards for electronic healthcare transactions and requires that organizations that deal with electronic patient healthcare information protect the security and confidentiality of that data. In many cases, HIPAA provisions have led to extensive changes with regard to medical recordkeeping and billing systems.

Virtually all organizations that deal with electronic patient healthcare information are affected. This includes (but is not limited to): healthcare providers, health plans, physicians' offices, public health authorities, healthcare clearinghouses, pharmacies, organ, blood and sperm donation banks, and long-term care facilities. Also included are those entities that handle, exchange or store private electronic health information, such as self-ensured employers, life insurers, billing agencies, information systems vendors, various service organizations, and universities.

LiveOffice provides an encryption solution specifically for organizations that transmit and maintain electronic healthcare records and, therefore, must abide by HIPAA compliance regulations. The LiveOffice encryption solution ensures the security of data when transmitted over the Internet. Once activated, a message can be automatically scrambled so that if it is intercepted, it will be unreadable. Only the intended recipient will be able to read the email in its original and readable format.
