max.md Introduces New Secure Healthcare Communications Products

Jan. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Responding to recent developments in healthcare reform, max.md has introduced several new products and a new web site design. The site is found at http://www.max.md . max.md is committed to providing state-of-the-art technology for secure healthcare communications.

Recent publications from the NIHN Direct project and the FTC Privacy by Design initiative both underscore the need for the mdEmail secure electronic communications suite. All max.md products meet the combined NIHN, FTC, HIPAA, and HITECH requirements.

While federal agencies and the healthcare industry are calling for a system for protected communication, the max.md global secure information exchange is operational today. With four years of proven use, and clients in 30 countries and 22 healthcare business segments, max.md is a leading Health Information Service Provider (HISP).

The push technology offers uncompromised security. This direct communication offers near real-time contact with the recipient. The alternative is a web 1.0 web site portal with corresponding low real-world visit rates.

The software code is portable and can be integrated into a range of applications including practice management, health records and imaging communication. The push pathway can move all forms of data, including continuity of care records (CCR), medical images, or unstructured clinical information.

As a stand-alone, mdEmail is functional within familiar email clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail. mdEmail allows users to securely communicate from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. The suite is significantly more advanced and user friendly than competing technologies.

Expanding on that platform, max.md is introducing the mdGC group collaboration tool. Designed to meet the demands of clinical study discussions, patient treatment plan coordination, and special interest group interaction, mdGC maintains the integrity of protected health information. It is SPAM proof, limited by administrative controls to a select group of users, and based on mdEmail direct communications.

max.md digital signatures product aids the the efficiency, immediacy, and economy of  electronic healthcare. This service provides contractual nonrepudiated authentication. Now releases, consent forms, authorizations and every other kind of contract can be managed in real time, with no fax issues or postage delays.
