Understanding the Challenges of Hospital Email Security

Healthcare

Problem #1: Patients don’t have control over their data

Historically, medical records have been considered property of clinicians or health institutions and patients. A study conducted by Yale University found that only 53 percent of hospitals allow patients to receive their complete records. This lack of patient access makes sharing sensitive medical records between hospitals and healthcare providers or facilities a complicated process defined by bureaucratic hold ups and patient frustrations. As a result patients experience unnecessary delays in receiving care, which directly impacts the quality of care.

Problem #2: Healthcare data breaches are costly and on the rise

In 2022 alone nearly 48 million Americans’ health care data was compromised, leading to expensive litigation and significant erosion of patient trust in their providers. The problem is only going to get worse and lead to even greater problems for healthcare institutions. The world needs a way to securely store and transfer medical records so patients and providers can focus on improved healthcare outcomes.

Case Study:

ShelterZoom’s first-of-its-kind project with Policlinico Modelo de Cipolletti in Argentina has incorporated Document GPS into the management of patient records. By leveraging ShelterZoom’s document tokenization tools, Policlinico Modelo empowers its patients to take full ownership over their sensitive medical records to improve communication between patients and relevant parties and, ultimately, improve healthcare outcomes. ShelterZoom shields patients’ medical data from cyber breaches and allows them to bypass the bureaucratic hurdles by delivering their own medical records directly to a specialist or clinic.
