HIPAA: How to Use Encrypted Email in Your Practice

Technology is constantly changing the way we live and the way we practice orthodontics. Most if not all of our records are now digital, and file sizes can exceed hundreds of megabytes. What is the best way to transfer electronic health record data? Many of our records also have protected health information (PHI), which if disclosed could jeopardize our patients and result in large fines to the office. This presentation will show different ways of sending electronic communications and records in an encrypted way, in accordance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.

After this lecture you will be able to:

• Recognize different methods of sending encrypted information via email
• Compare different encrypted email options available in the market
