Advances in communications technology are a double-edged sword. For all the benefits we have seen from innovations in information exchange over the last century, we have also become vulnerable to a plethora of new drawbacks in security and privacy. In many cases, an armed courier on horseback is still more secure than a paper fax transmission or an unencrypted email. These risks are particularly acute in the healthcare industry, where much of the information being exchanged consists of private health information; the loss of which carries hefty regulatory fines.
OpenText has long been aware of these threats, and has put a major focus on providing secure information exchange solutions in healthcare for more than 25 years. Today, OpenText is the market leader in both fax servers and fax services. Most recently, OpenText announced a suite of cloud-based solutions for secure information exchange including fax, notifications and EDI.
We offer scalable solutions for healthcare organizations of all sizes, but our first piece of advice for everyone is the same: get rid of your fax machines, and stop using paper. Whether you are part of a large regional health network in need of a full RightFax solution, or a smaller practice looking for a reliable all-in-one appliance, you just can’t risk the cost of a data breach, not to mention the ongoing costs of fax machine supplies and maintenance.
Many of our customers choose OpenText simply because we offer the most secure methods of information exchange, but we also lead the market because our products integrate seamlessly with just about any front- or back-end application you can imagine, including all the leading healthcare-specific EMR/EHR systems.
Visit us at the Healthcare IT News and HIMSS Media Privacy & Security Forum in Boston Dec. 12-13 to learn how we help healthcare providers, payers and suppliers harness the power of secure information exchange.
