This article describes the importance of secure email use in the healthcare industry. With the amount of records for patients, mailing and faxing are too time consuming and costly. The trasfer of the records by email is much more efficient. "Considering the cost of secure e-mail, as opposed to the cost of litigation over a HIPAA violation, it's certainly worth it." So, the main issue is keeping the information contained private. Crystal Run Healthcare uses secure email to accomplish this task. The software's logic can automatically encrypt messages that contain key words such as "social security" and other such personal information."
