Communication.

The ability to effectively, securely communicate and exchange information among health care providers in a cost-effective way is essential for the wellness, protection and progress of the industry. The .mdEmail® Secure Exchange Connection can facilitate encrypted exchange of PHI, even for those larger entities such as hospitals or clinics that run their own email exchange server. We offer access to connect these types of organizations to our network via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. The VPN connection allows anyone in this setting to send and receive email to and from other .mdEmail^® customers, just as other mdEmail® customers do, without any further encryption needed. By integrating into our network via the VPN connection, you can also utilize SendAnywhere technology to send an encrypted email to anyone outside the .md network.

HIPAA clearly states that a system must be in place to handle the secure transmission and storage of all electronic files. Additionally, the HITECH Act of 2009 revised the civil monetary penalty schedule for violations of HIPAA compliance, with new fines ranging from $100 up to $50,000 for each violation. The HITECH act also empowered state attorneys general to enforce HIPAA, which was previously the responsibility of HHS (Department of Health and Human Services) and OIG (Office of Inspector General).

Subscribers to the SendAnywhere Secure Exchange Connection also can protect their practice or organization from incurring costly fines for HIPAA violations. Whether your organization is classified as a "Business Associate" or a "Covered Entity", the program helps your office gain compliance with HIPAA’s Security Standards and Technical Safeguards relative to the use, transmission, and protection of ePHI.

Your office efficiency is critical to productivity and profitability. The mdEmail Secure Exchange Connection enables an efficient, cost-effective and paperless communication between physicians, patients or any independent business counterpart within the health care community. The ability to send and receive information electronically is the first step to improving your office productivity. .mdEmail^® is easily integrated into any existing email system, eliminating the hassle of purchasing expensive new software, personnel training or costly installations. In fact, .mdEmail® can be installed in just minutes, and becomes fully operational within hours - requiring absolutely no downtime from your office staff. Break free from time consuming faxing, scanning, phone tag and paid postage and start maximizing your workflow and optimizing patient care.

What we offer is a secure link between a customers existing mail server (exchange or other) and the mdEmail platform. This link accomplishes three things:

• Customer outgoing mail will have SendAnywhere capability.
• Mail between the customer and other mdEmail customers will be secure and not travel over the internet.
• Cost is determined by size and complexity of the customer system.
