EchoBase, a provider of “mobile interface” solutions for the healthcare industry, has announced a new integration with Gazzang to power secure access to clinical systems — providing physicians and clinicians mobile access to things like patient medical records and other internal systems while limiting the risk of sensitive data breach or exposure.
Through its “Resonate” solution, echoBase provides a single mobile interface to electronic medical record, practice management, clinical and financial systems that allows clinicians to interact with electronic patient data in real-time, with or without an Internet connection. The solution currently works on both Apple iPads and iPhones/iPod Touches.
Gazzang’s solution, dubbed “ezNcrypt,” provides high performance, transparent data encryption for Linux, MySQL and other open source applications and services without requiring changes to the existing database or application code. It also ensures critical compliance with regulatory mandates including HIPAA, HITECH and Meaningful Use guidelines. Working together, both echoBase and Gazzang provide an end-to-end, secure solution for clinicians to access and manipulate sensitive data from internal systems, without the worry of costly regulatory violations or fear of data breaches — which has become a major issue lately.
“Security of patient information is an absolute requirement for our customers. You can’t handle this information ‘casually’ when people’s health and medical care is at stake,” said Brent Miller, President of echoBase. “That’s why we turned to Gazzang to provide an impeded layer of infrastructure for all of our mobile interface offerings. Gazzang’s ezNcrypt solution was easy to implement and integrate as the critical security fabric for our Resonate solution.”
