Proofpoint Regulatory Compliance Module

Perhaps more than in any other industry, healthcare organizations are being forced to re-examine their business processes. Rising costs, ongoing provider consolidation, and the need for HIPAA compliance solutions are all driving healthcare organizations to find new ways to improve operational efficiencies, increase productivity, and reduce expenses.

The Internet is a ubiquitous, cost-effective communication channel that represents significant potential for lowering costs while improving service delivery. Proofpoint's messaging security platform helps leading healthcare organizations ensure email compliance and safely take advantage of the Internet as a highly cost-effective way to link providers, members, payors, and claims processors in a streamlined value chain.

Compliance Solutions that Protect Productivity
Proofpoint protects organizations from the productivity-draining threats and attacks that are an unfortunate reality of today's email messaging systems. The Proofpoint Messaging Security Gateway and Proofpoint Protection Server stop inbound spam and virus attacks at the gateway—before they overload users' inboxes or system resources—reducing the threat of downtime or failure.

Compliance Solutions that meet Rugulatory Requirements with Less Effort
For healthcare organizations, the optional Proofpoint Regulatory Compliance module enables healthcare organizations to comply with HIPAA regulations by scanning outbound email messages for protected health information (PHI) such as patient data, drug names, and medical procedures.

• Rules can be easily modified with a point-and-click interface.
• Automatically encrypts messages destined for business partners that require secure communication.
• The Proofpoint Dynamic Update Service ensures that HIPAA codesets and rules are always up-to-date.
