WINTER HAVEN, Fla., Oct. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Elephant Outlook, a global leader in email security and compliance, ensures Pyramid Healthcare Solutions' protected health information remains confidential. Using Elephant's innovative software solution, Pyramid staff safely sends private healthcare data by simply selecting a customized button on their Outlook toolbar.
Pyramid Healthcare Solutions provides revenue cycle management services to hospitals and physician groups. They offer staff and outsourced resources to healthcare organizations for inpatient/outpatient coding, accounts receivable services, and interim staffing. Their credentialed auditors review coding policies and procedures to help healthcare providers prepare for RAC (Recovery Audit Contractor) audits of Medicare claims.
Already a satisfied customer of Elephant Outlook for their email services, Pyramid looked to their email provider to ensure they remained compliant with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) regulations. Elephant's focus on helping organizations with email security and compliance needs was the partnership Pyramid needed. Through its sister company, Protected Trust, Elephant's team of experts developed an innovative product. Tom Rose, director of information technology and security officer for Pyramid, says, "They were looking at developing a product and we had a need, so we worked together."
One of the biggest advantages Pyramid sees in Protected Trust is its ability to seamlessly integrate with their Outlook email system. Unlike other tools available, Protected Trust simplifies the process of sending confidential attachments. Rose says, "You push one button, it puts the attachment in the Protected Trust, and it's fully encrypted, it's fully secured."
As a company built on securely providing efficient, cost-saving solutions to their clients, Pyramid relies on Elephant to protect the privacy of their confidential communications. Nav Ranajee, vice president of sales and marketing for Pyramid, says, "We don't have to worry about it, it's secure. Only people who have the password can unlock the email." In today's environment of having to ensure the confidentiality of protected health information, Protected Trust's solution gives Pyramid peace of mind in knowing that they are meeting those requirements.
