Features & Benefits
Some of the most popular services for health care professionals
are:
- Email encryption for HIPAA and GDPR privacy compliance automatically
delivers email in a
unique way
to each recipient,
creating the simplest user experience for the recipient while returning auditable proof of
privacy
and compliance to the
sender– going far beyond basic TLS and link-retrieval systems. RMail includes different
levels of
encryption for when it
is important to keep messages private from the recipient’s email administrator or email
systems like
Gmail, and others
who may otherwise have access to their email.
RMail transmission encryption is most popular among health care professionals when
communicating
referrals, lab results
or other private patient information. RMail message-level encryption is most popular
when
communicating patient
information that is very sensitive.
-
Registered Email™ certified e-delivery tracking and proof with optional
encryption provides
advanced
open and delivery
tracking and proof, with timestamped proof of original content legally delivered. It returns
to
the
sender a
court-admissible timestamped Registered Receipt email without requiring any action or
setting at
the
recipient level.
Registered Email proof with encryption is most popular when the sender wants
audit-ready
proof
of
fact of encrypted,
privacy compliant delivery.
- Secure File Share One-Time-Box™ — RMail provides HIPAA and
GDPR compliant
secure file
sharing.
Senders can easily attach
and track up to 1GB of files from Outlook or the RMail Web app and send them securely to any
recipient with encryption
and configurable self-purging options (from 1 to 90 days) in a one-time online storage box
that
eliminates the risk of
download recipients being able to see the sender’s cloud storage file structure.
RMail Secure File Sharing is most popular when sending patient images to
specialists.
- RSign® eSignatures are the simplest to use, most affordable
full featured
web-based
electronic
signature service. RSign
makes it easy for signers to complete and sign documents using any desktop or mobile web
browser
in
an intuitive, guided
signing process.
RSign is the easiest way to obtain patient information filled into forms sent by email
or
posted
on
websites, with the
completed form compiled as a PDF record and with options to automatically back-fill form
data
into
the health care
information management system.
- RMail Gateway Secure Send™ makes it easy to automate and
ensure HIPAA and GDPR
compliant and
auditable encrypted email
in all outbound email or for certain messages based on message content, senders, recipients,
or
patterns inside
messages.
RMail Gateway is popular among IT staff as a simple way to automate encryption from
certain
senders,
to certain
recipient domains, based on message content or content patterns like health care
numbers, or
by
adding a “#” or another
indicator in the subject of mobile device email.
- Right Recipient™ reduces risk of sending an email to the
wrong person based on
Outlook
auto-complete
address functions.
Right Recipient provides an extra check to prevent inadvertent emails being sent to similar
names
and while checking the
address, recommends other options such as encrypting email.
Right Recipient is useful for all professions that send critical client information to
external
parties; in particular
those using Outlook address auto-complete functions. This service is provided in
partnership
with
cleanDocs DocsCorp.
Peer Reviews
RPost services are effective for
electronic delivery and execution of documents required or regulated under the
Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).
Jon Neiditz and Amanda Witt
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP lawyers reviewed RPost services and presented a legal
opinion confirming that our
services are effective for electronic delivery and execution of documents required or regulated
under the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). Based on their analysis, the
attorneys presented the
following conclusions:
- An RPost electronic signature can be used when a signature is required by a document
governed by HIPAA and is as legally
enforceable and legally effective as a ‘wet ink’ signature.
-
RPost can be used to deliver documents electronically in conformity with the technical
safeguard standards of HIPAA
relating to the security of electronic communications of electronic PHI.
-
Where notification is required by HIPAA and in the great majority of U.S. Jurisdictions in
which UETA applies, RPost’s
core Registered Email service does provide the sender with legally valid evidence that
notice has been accomplished
under HIPAA, as long as RPost’s resulting Registered Receipt email reports at least
successful delivery to the
recipient’s mail server.
