Secure Messaging

Hospitals have a duty to ensure that patient information is stored and transmitted securely. Standard, unencrypted email should never be used to transmit confidential information; neither should this information be transmitted by fax.

Healthcode's secure messaging service, which uses encryption to online banking standards, allows the efficient transmission of confidential information between hospitals, insurers, consultants and specialists. It can be used by hospital administration staff to:

• Query bills
• Plan patient discharges
• Discuss managed care for patients
• Confirm or discuss treatment protocols
• Send medical reports
• Discuss coding procedure
• Plan work scheduling
