Biscom, Inc., a provider of enterprise secure file transfer (SFT) and secure fax solutions, has introduced a new SFT mobile functionality and a new cloud-based SFT solution, enabling clinicians and healthcare staff to more easily share important patient information while maintaining the highest level of security.
"Secure file transfer has become mission critical in healthcare. E-mail, postal mail, courier services, and rogue Internet file sharing services don't offer enough security to ensure the level of privacy needed to protect patient information, and are often the reason for data breaches," said Bill Ho, president of Biscom, in a statement.
Ho said that healthcare organizations across the country are adopting Biscom SFT because it meets the highest level of security, while being truly easy to use, even for ad-hoc projects.
“It's as easy as sending an e-mail," he said.
Officials with Biscom said that enhanced SFT app makes iPads even more indispensable.
Company officials said that Biscom's enhanced SFT for iPad app extends secure transfer to all files on an Apple (News - Alert) iPad including documents, photographs and videos.
Company officials said that physicians and other healthcare professionals can now create secure mobile deliveries of documents, files and multimedia that were downloaded from other iPad apps, such as e-mail or document management systems. The updated app also includes the ability to take a full color, high resolution photo with the iPad's camera and send it securely using Biscom.
According to company officials, Biscom has added these capabilities based on customer input by healthcare professionals to meet HIPAA regulations even while away from their offices and desks. These advanced features enhance Biscom's existing SFT for iPad functionality and enable users to securely send and receive documents.
