    ADL Integrates HIPAA Messaging

    Secure Text Messaging for Your Physicians and Staff

    ADL has integrated CellTrust HIPAA-compliant secure text messaging with our EMR software. Now Nurses and Doctors can communicate with each other using their smartphones or their PC Workstations.

    Improve Your Communication for a More Efficient System of Care

    Celltrust secure text messaging is as fast and easy as texting with all your physicians at the touch of a button. No more wasting hours playing phone tag. Better real time communication between nurses and physicians reduces readmission rates

     Multi-Channel Communication – Availability Anytime, Anywhere

    CellTrust’s secure text messaging works on iPhone, Android, Blackberry and your desktop computer. It’s also available in those facility dead spots. The Paging alert function will track down physicians until the message is read. So you know you can count on your messages getting through – anytime and anywhere.

    Secure mobile communication technology capable of dual-channel (data/Wi-Fi and unique failover channel) communication

    In the event the data channel is not available, encrypted messages can be sent via the Common Control Channel for failover SMS text messaging and redundant paging.

  • ADL Data EMR can utilize the Microsoft Active Directory for Logon Authentication

    ADL Data EMR can utilize the Microsoft Active Directory for Logon Authentication.

    This is to assist organizations that want to manage the computer security from using Microsoft Active Directory.

    Flags can be set to have user passwords managed through the Active Directory.

    ADL passwords will not be checked to logon.

    ADL Security module has been modified as follows:

    • Global flag added to indicate MS Active Directory is to be used.
    • ADL programs will ignore Passwords on startup and use the Users Active Directory Login.
    • Available Actions/Functions continue to be based on User Roles defined in ADL security.
    • Strong Password is checked/handled by Active Directory Security.

     

     

  • Computerized Physician Orders – Email Encryption

    Now Orders sent via email can be encrypted with an electronic signature. These encrypted email messages can only be viewed by an email program that has the corresponding public key to decrypt the message. This feature allows the email orders to be sent orders to the vendor pharmacies over public internet services.

    Encryption is needed to be HIPAA compliant for personal health information transferred over public networks to ensure the patient’s privacy.

    Some Vendor pharmacies do not have HL7 gateways to electronically received and send Orders. Some prefer to receive the Orders via Email. Sending Email places the patient information on the Internet where it can be viewed by unauthorized individuals in violation of the HIPAA regulations. It is strongly advised to implement secured email technology to guard the privacy of your patients.

    Encryption; The security employs PGP encryption which uses public-key cryptography and includes software to bind the public keys to a user name and/or an e-mail address.

    The sender creates a Digital Signature (using PGP) for the messages using either the RSA or DSA signature algorithms. PGP computes a “hash or message digest” from the plain text, and then creates a Digital Signature by combining the hash and the sender’s private keys.

    Digital signatures; Email uses PGP to support message authentication and integrity checking. The former determines whether the message was actually sent by the person/entity claimed to be the sender. The latter is used to detect whether a message has been altered since it was completed (the message integrity property).
