AURORA, Colo. & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), a leader in email data protection, announced that University of Colorado Health (UCHealth) has selected Zix® Email Encryption to provide consolidated, secure email across its entire healthcare system. UCHealth consists of Memorial Health System, Poudre Valley Health System, and University of Colorado Hospital. By using Zix Email Encryption, UCHealth can communicate securely across its organization and with its partners and patients to protect patient privacy and meet the regulatory requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.
“We have very close partnerships with other healthcare organizations that provide services to mutual patients,” said Fernando Pedroza, UCHealth’s Chief Information Security Officer. “Zix Email Encryption gives us a convenient and transparent way to securely communicate patient data across our regional hospitals and to other outside partners.”
UCHealth leverages ZixCorp’s sophisticated policy filters to automatically scan and encrypt sensitive information, such as personal health information, if it is detected in the email subject, message or attachments. The policies and automatic scanning enable 18,000 UCHealth users to protect email and maintain focus on providing quality patient care.
ZixCorp supports HIPAA and security compliance within healthcare companies and understands the requirements for email. ZixCorp also reduces the IT compliance, training, and staffing requirements for hospitals and other health care providers.
