Why is ABPA requiring e-mail recipients to use Secure Web Messenger?
The HIPAA HITECH regulations have put more stringent requirements on safeguarding Protected Health Information (PHI), especially when emailing. ABPA’s policy has always required encryption of emails containing PHI. However, our older process was cumbersome to, not only the sender, but the receiver as well. In order to streamline this process, ABPA implemented the Secure Web Messenger. Encryption is no longer a manual process and allows an easier way to share emails containing PHI.
