Confidentiality of electronic medical files in Promedico ASP guaranteed by DIGIPASS

More and more general practitioners create electronic medical files about their patients. Exchanging that information with other practitioners and health care providers however, is not as common as it seems. Security and confidentiality remain big issues when it comes to sharing patients’ medical records. Promedico ICT Ltd., a leading company offering ICT-solutions for healthcare, introduced its innovative software product ‘Promedico ASP’ enabling general practitioners to share and exchange medical information in a secure way.

Objective

Provide secure access to Promedico’s online application for authorized users only and protect medical records from confidentiality breaches.

Challenge

Access to Promedico ASP must be secured without needing to install additional soft- and hardware in the GP’s practice. Patients’ medical files should be accessible for authorized at any given time and location. Security standards must comply with local legislation.

Solution

Access to the patients’ medical files in Promedico is secured by VASCO’s DIGIPASS 300 in combination with VACMAN Controller. DIGIPASS 300 has an e-signature functionality allowing GPs to sign their messages and update their patients’ records in a secure way.
