Zix
Corporation (ZixCorp), (NASDAQ: ZIXI), a leader in email data
protection, announced that Grand
View Health has signed a three-year renewal contract for Zix®
Email Encryption. Grand View Health has been a ZixCorp customer since
2010 and uses ZixGateway®,
a policy-based email encryption service, to automatically protect email
communication for 1,000 employees.
“As an organization, we strive to meet the highest level of protection
for patient information. ZixGateway is a key piece of that puzzle,” said
Bob Emert, manager of MIS for Grand View Health. “We recognized early on
the need to secure patient and employee information in email to attain
Meaningful Use. Since then, a number of our partner hospitals and
organizations have begun embracing Zix Email Encryption, creating a
network of trust and transparency when it comes to sending secure
messages.”
To improve patient care, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
provide financial incentives to providers who show Meaningful Use of
their Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology. Email encryption
assists providers in protecting electronic health information and
patient privacy, as outlined in Meaningful Use objectives.
“Zix Email Encryption is seamless and provides us with great
confidence,” said Emert. “Secure communication would be incredibly easy
for everyone if they all just used Zix.”
All organizations that use ZixGateway, including more than 30 Blue Cross
Blue Shield Organizations and one in every five U.S. hospitals, form the
Zix Encryption Network. Within this growing community, all messages,
regardless of content, are automatically encrypted and decrypted without
any impact on senders or receivers. For Grand View Health, its employees
automatically exchange all emails securely and transparently with more
than 250 organizations in Zix Encryption Network. ZixCorp is the only
vendor to offer automatic transparent email encryption for both senders
and recipients, where messages are decrypted without any extra steps or
passwords.
For any emails sent outside Zix Encryption Network, ZixGateway scans the
content of the message and attachments. If the email contains sensitive
information, it is automatically encrypted and delivered to recipients
using ZixPort®,
a mobile-friendly secure Web portal.
“ZixCorp has established itself as a proven leader in delivering email
encryption services to healthcare providers,” said Rick
Spurr, ZixCorp’s chairman and CEO. “Each time an organization
embraces Zix Email Encryption or renews our service, our solution
becomes stronger. The loyalty of Grand View Health and its story of ease
of use are examples of how we’ve become the solution of choice for the
healthcare industry.”
