The Importance of Secure File Transfer for Health Care Professionals
As soon as patients and clients provide you with private health information, that data becomes your responsibility. Yet due to the collaborative nature of healthcare, especially the intersection with insurance claim filing, sharing these files is essential to your completing your work and meeting the patient’s needs. How do you maintain patient privacy and data security while also streamlining critical healthcare processes?
Achieve Better Patient Outcomes with FileCloud
Digital business processes are crucial for healthcare teams because they provide the right data where you need it, when you need it. FileCloud gives you a single platform to manage, secure, and collaborate on all your content and processes while adhering to industry standards such as HIPAA and GDPR. Have fast and secure access to files from the exam room and medical office and everywhere in between.
Secure Electronic Medical Record Compliance
With increasing data breaches, your IT infrastructure must be able to protect the privacy of clients and patients. HIPAA compliance rules apply to health care institutions and any providers who store and transmit health information electronically. FileCloud provides extensive and powerful features to help support compliance requirements and maintain client trust. These include custom metadata with templates for confidential information like PII or credit card numbers. The Classification Classification Engine uses this metadata to automatically scan and apply relevant metadata tags. These tags are then picked up by FileCloud’s smart DLP to ensure any confidential information is kept secure on your FileCloud server.
What is protected under HIPAA compliant document sharing?
HIPAA coverage rules protect individually identifiable information known as ePHI (Electronic Protected Health Information), or individually identifiable information created, received, maintained, or transmitted electronically. It does not apply to ePHI transmitted in writing or orally. See how FileCloud can help you meet HIPAA requirements.
Why FileCloud is the Best HIPAA Compliant File Sharing Solution
FileCloud supports HIPAA compliance by providing advanced encryption in-transit and at-rest, detailed activity and audit logs, integration with existing network shares, powerful admin tools like reporting, user-friendly data leak prevention, device management, a drive app, and single sign-on capabilities. Additional features include:
- A built-in tool for previewing DICOM medical images like X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasounds directly in your browser.
- An enterprise record management system efficiently manages records throughout the document lifecycle, from creation and distribution through archival and deletion. The records management system identifies information to be retained as records, and manages it throughout the document lifecycle for easy retrieval in support of legal proceedings or internal processes.
- Workflow automation to streamline processing of healthcare documents, improving performance and reducing human error.
- Granular permissions for files and folders and designation of users as Group Admins help reduce the administrative load on system admins; users are empowered to customize and manage information under their purview as needed, all while protecting ePHI from unauthorized access.

Summary of HIPAA Compliance Rules
HIPAA compliance rules protect patient privacy. There are three types of rules:
- Privacy Rules – define the type of information that must be kept private by categorizing it as “Protected Health Information,” (PHI)
- Security Rules – require administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to address the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI
- Breach Rules – require breaches of unsecured PHI to be notified to HHS, affected individuals, and, in some cases, the media.
HIPAA Protects Specific Types of ePHI:
- Patient names; Names of relatives
- Geographic subdivisions (smaller than state)
- Telephone numbers
- Full Face Photos or Videos
- Fax numbers
- Social Security numbers
- URLs
- IP address numbers
- Biometric identifiers
- E-mail addresses
- Device identifiers and serial numbers
- Medical Record Numbers
- any other unique identifier number
HIPAA requirements protect ePHI in several Ways:
- Limits who may use or disclose PHI
- Limits the purposes for which PHI may be used or disclosed
- Limits the amount of information that may be used or disclosed (Minimum necessary rule)
- Requires use of safeguards over how PHI is used, stored and disclosed
