E/POP: E/Pop is a chat tool that will allow
referring doctors--or any satellite office or
partner--to send you xrays (and ANY other info) in
realtime - no waiting, no risk, no problems.
This is NOT the compromised, spyware and spam-ridden junk the kids use to avoid
doing their homework, this is a
private, safe and secure tool that you and your
staff can use to send business information back and
forth with your participating partners.
Not only that, but you and your staff can send E/Pop
messages back and forth throughout the office. This
can be VERY useful.
I purchase the E/Pop licenses from
www.wiredred.com.
They provide the software (sold in 5-user lots), and
I provide the "hosting" or linking of participating
partners. That means that servers in my office
here in Washington direct the E/Pop traffic.
Only the intended recipient can view the content
of your E/Pop communications.
You and your partners only see
yourselves on the E/Pop directory. All is private and there is no
"cross-over."
I can
now provide E/Pop connectivity to ANYBODY. That
means that we can put E/Pop on your laptops so that
you can communicate with your office or home from a
hotel room, a conference room, a Starbucks or
anywhere you have Internet access. In addition, we
can put E/Pop on any staff member's home computer.
This does not require a housecall, nor does it
require any hardware.
This new solution does NOT give
anybody the ability to remote control your office or
anything like that. This is a private Internet-based service I'm offering that
goes through my secure, protected servers here in
Washington.
This service is by REFERRAL
ONLY. We E/Poppers are a vey elite
community! Ask an existing E/Pop user to contact
me if you would like to add this service to any of
your personal laptops, staff member's home
computers, an associates' PC or even an entire
remote
office full of people you'd like to communicate
with!
if your
office now transfers or intends to transfer
PII
(Personally Identifiable Information)
or other sensitive information
via this service, be sure to keep reading.
Mark L. Selman makes
NO claims of any kind
regarding E/Pop and HIPAA compliance.
HIPAA compliance is YOUR
responsibility.
HIPAA requires that private medical
information sent outside the office meets
the following (and possibly multiple other) criteria:
1) It must not be visible by third parties (must
go to the recipient without being viewable by anyone
else). This is why it's not legal to send
personally identifiable medical information via
e-mail. E-Mail is not in any way secure.
No-one but your intended recipient
can view your E/Pop communications when they are
piped through my server. It goes only to the
person you address it to.
2) It must be encrypted.
Both E/Pop and
Mirador Instant Messenger are
encrypted using Industry Standard encryption.
3) You must be able to
provide upon demand, a report showing what
PII was sent from
your office at any given time.
HIPAA compliance
is YOUR responsibility. While E/Pop allows you to save your sent/received
messages, if you intend to send/receive
PII, then it is
your responsibility to archive this info for later
retrieval. You can simply print the messages,
or better yet make a note in the patient's chart whenever
PII is sent.
The best way to ensure HIPAA
compliance is to make sure that the data you send
electronically can not be used to PERSONALLY
IDENTIFY THE INDIVIDUAL PATIENT.
Mark L. Selman
can not be held responsible for your failure to
document PII / PHI ("Private Health Information")
that passes through the "pipe" that this service
makes available.
