HIPAA and texting by  p4meds2me  16 mon  674  Law / Caregivers In the hospital I work at, I have been noticing a lot of doctors and nurses texting patient info like release dates, second opinion requests, etc. According to HIPAA, if the phone is lost or hacked, and the data is released publicly, then the doctors and hospital are open to law suits. My boss asked me to look for a solution to look for a solution, and so far the only thing I can find for secure texting that is HIPAA complaint is this app called Tigertext which is on a closed network and will delete text messages on all phones after X period of time. It doesn't seem to cost much and at least would allow doctors to text without a HIPAA problem. Is this really HIPAA complaint, or am I missing something? Is anyone else using this? http://www.tigertext.com Add To Favorites!

Reply   FCK   TinyMCE   p4meds2me Agree Disagree Re: HIPAA and texting by  georgeitman  13 mon  529 Yes, I recently did a consulting job at a hospital who has their doctors using it. The current place I am working at has a similar issue, but with SOX compliance with is similar to HIPAA, and they are having me do research on solutions like Tigertext, hence how I got here. I also found this article on BYOD and Tigertext as well: http://pusz4frog.wordpress.com/2012/04/30/tigertext-the-future-of-hipaa-compliant-text-messaging-for-hospitals-and-doctors-and-the-solution-to-doctors-byod-requirements/ Add To Favorites! Reply   FCK   TinyMCE   georgeitman Notifications Agree Disagree   Re: HIPAA and texting by  georgeitman  6 mon  219 I just found this article concerning Tigertext, and thought I would add it here. http://healthitsecurity.com/2012/10/26/handling-healthcare-sms-security-between-different-devices/ What I found interesting is 'TigerText, a short message service (SMS) security company, announced yesterday that more than 250 healthcare facilities around the country are using its HIPAA-compliant messaging platform for their secure communications. Considering the company’s healthcare mobile security experience, it can speak to the struggles that CIOs or CISOs can face in maintaining a secure, HIPAA-compliant mobile platform.' The fact that they got 250 healthcare facilities using thier app/service speaks to the fact that they are a valid service, and it also speaks volumes about how concerned healthcare is about HIPAA and doctors sending text messages.
