Securely sharing sensitive patient data and research findings while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
A leading medical institution frequently collaborates with external specialists, partner hospitals, and research organizations on complex patient cases, clinical trials, and medical research. The secure and compliant sharing of Protected Health Information (PHI), including diagnostic images, lab results, patient histories, and anonymized research data, is paramount. Existing methods often involve insecure email, physical media, or disparate, unintegrated systems, making it challenging to ensure HIPAA/GDPR compliance, control granular access permissions for external users, and maintain a comprehensive audit trail of who accessed what sensitive information, when, and for what purpose. This increases the risk of data breaches and non-compliance penalties.
To ensure HIPAA-compliant collaboration and secure sharing of sensitive patient and research data, the medical institution requires a secure, centralized platform. Wrapsody eCo provides this by allowing for the secure sharing of PHI with external collaborators, ensuring all data is encrypted and access is strictly controlled. The institution can set highly granular permissions, specifying who can view, edit, or print documents, and for how long. The Timeline feature automatically logs all file sharing, chat, and meeting activities, providing an immutable audit trail essential for regulatory compliance. Integration with existing tools like email and video conferencing further streamlines workflows without compromising security.
