Encryption

In Reply to: HIPAA compliant email - Julie
I have a small company and use encrypted email only to send patient lists, not reports, which we do through a server. I would highly recommend Versign as the premier encryption service above and beyond what HIPAA requires. Both sides, those accepting and sending emails, must have Versign for it to work. Its safe and dependable. I wont allow my transcriptionists to work without it.

FTP vs encryption
What is the advantage of using FTP rather than just a good encryption program? If sent through email with encryption and the doctor's office saves in their computer, why would that not be sufficient? TIA

encryption programs
Speaking of encryption, my doc wants to go through tapeless and go with a WAV pedal program. What are the ins and outs of these programs; what's good; what's not. Are they easy to load, setup, etc. And, what above the WAV pedal programs? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Email encryption
Hello, does anyone know of a very simple, inexpensive email encryption program? Was previously using Hypersend, but they are changing and after 12/28 will be much more expensive (had used this free for the last year) to use. I only send 1 or 2 encrypted emails (containing patient notes) per week and really don't want to bother with FTP or any of that. Would like something similar to Hypersend, which was so simple & easy to use. Had previously purchased Centurion software for encryption, but found it complicated on the recipient's end to use. I see a lot of programs/software out there, but don't know which ones are legitimate or trusted. Would appreciate any advice at all. THANKS!
email encryption
I just read another post about password protecting files in Word. Actually, I never knew that could be done. I just went in and gave it a try and it works great! This might be a very simple answer for all that I need this for.
Best free encryption software? sm
I'm going out of town tomorrow, kind of a mini family emergency, and for the first time will have to drag my laptop along to work. The encryption software on my main computer cannot be transferred to the laptop. Anyone have opinions on free encryption software that is fast to install, good quality, and easy to use. I don't have enough time to learn new software or putz with it. Thanks.
there are free encryption programs at ....
look around and check it all out. Some cost money, but not heaps and might be worth having.
good encryption program
MEP-- see http://www.deturi.com/oldsite/mep.html.
Also WinZip (the purchased version) has encryption.
Looking for an encryption program so I can send reports.
Maybe because Home version does not have encryption feature.

Outlook Encryption satisfies HIPAA
(Disclaimer: this is posted by Vann Joe, the publisher of MPWord, MPLite, and MPTools.)
Yes, the encryption built into Outlook would comply with HIPAA.
I note a user has suggested MPLite ($54). If you want to continue working in MS Word, adding MPLite to your work environment will save you much time both in generating the documents and in invoicing. http://www.mpword.com/7mplite.htm
MPWord adds these functions to what you get in MPLite: medical spell check, abbreviation expansion, encryption, zip, unzip, email, fax, ftp.
All our software is available for download and trial. You see, we don't want anyone's money, till you try the software out, finds it meets your needs, and absolutely love the time it saves you.
The same crap about HIPAA & encryption sickens me. The problem is what
happens once the information reaches India and is processed by the India MT. So what if the dictation is "encrypted" and sent through "private lines". What happens to the information once it's UNencrypted? That is where the problem is because then that private health information can be compromised and our illustrious HIPAA law can do NOTHING, NADA, ZIP to protect the poor patient...why oh why...again, because HIPAA is a U.S. law and is not enforceable outside of the U.S.
The next thing that doesn't ring true is the so called "aging" American Medical Transcriptionist labor pool. Let's get real Mr. Paulik. The FACT is that YES there is a shortage....a shortage of experienced MTs willing to work for PEANUTS! Pay us a decent wage and watch those experienced MTs come out of the woodwork! Also, take a good hard look at every single MT website and see the enormous number of American MTs, EXPERIENCED MTs looking for work.
I am so fed up with these corporations using this same lame excuses time and again to justify what comes down to the almighty buck.
Anyone familiar with Thawte for their free encryption email service?
I was looking at Thawte for a security measure for sending medical reports through email. Has anyone here used them before or know anyhthing more concerning this company?
TIA~
