Does your agency have a benefits side? If so, you are required to protect the health information of your clients when transmitted via email.
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.
Encryption is a logical and easy way to protect client information sent via email. There is a lot of confusion on the subject, so we have setup a page on our website with more information about HIPAA and HITECH compliance.
While you’re there, you can learn about the solution we offer to help you achieve compliance.
