HIPAA-Compliant
Email
and Texting.
ePHI is Individually Identifiable Health Information transmitted electronically by a covered entity (your medical practice) or a business associate (Influx MD). To be considered ePHI, the transmitted package must contain an identifier, such as a patient's name, address, or telephone number, and some form of health data, such as medical conditions, treatments, or insurance information.
Hosting and Data Protection for ePHI.
A qualified independent third-party auditing firm audits the Influx MD hosting environment. A copy of the latest audit is available to you on request. While most Influx users store little to no ePHI, protecting all data, regardless of legal requirements, is the standard for Influx MD. From the hosting environment to the application programming and strict employee protocols, Influx MD treats all data as ePHI for maximum security.
Most Messaging Services are Not Secure.
End-to-end encryption, access logging, and a BAA in place for every part of message transit are difficult for email and almost impossible for texting (SMS).
Influx MD detects when email and SMS services are unsecured and seamlessly migrates the conversation to a secure environment. There's no login, inconvenience, or disruption in engagement with your contacts.
