Identillect Partners with Erickson Dental Technologies to Secure HIPAA Compliant Communication for their Customers

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Identillect Technologies Corp. (the "Company" or "Identillect") (TSX-V:ID) IDTLF (Frankfurt:8ID), a trusted leading provider of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant email security, achieves continued success in providing secure communication to their partners. Erickson Dental Technologies selected Delivery Trust® to secure email communications for the dental clients they serve nationally.

Erickson Technologies has served the nations most advanced dental practices for almost 30 years. Erickson provides computer-based technologies for practices across the nation. They focus on all technical aspects of the practice, so the dental providers can focus on the patients. They have an outstanding reputation due to their extensive knowledge of dental practice workflow and providing the technology which creates a superior patient experience.

Jeff Erickson, President of Erickson Dental Technologies, states, "At Erickson Dental Technologies our goal is to provide our clients with the most advanced technologies, we see their communications no different. The partnership with Identillect has been forged to provide our clients with the most simple and secure communication on the market. We anticipate significant adoption by our clients as we continue to serve all of their technical needs."

Data breaches have almost doubled from Q4 2017 to Q1 2018 in the medical sector. As reported in HIPAA Journal, most of these breaches could have been prevented with the use of encryption. Dental care is the fastest growing segment in the healthcare industry. Due to this growth the federal government has stepped up HIPAA enforcement, conducting more compliance audits and seeking more financial penalties from HIPAA violators. 

Todd Sexton, CEO of Identillect Technologies, comments, "The trend of dental practitioners leveraging external resources for support in operations, administration and business development is an intelligent division of labor, allowing dental professionals to focus on doing what they do best, patient care. Erickson Dental Technologies is well respected in the dental industry, understanding the technical and security needs of their clients and handling it on their behalf."

Email confidentiality notices and disclaimers — There's a myth that including a confidentiality notice or disclaimer in an email makes the email compliant with HIPAA and allows a dentist to send PHI via unencrypted or unsecure email. The myth is false. Even the best-worded notice or disclaimer will not make an unencrypted email comply with HIPAA. The rules here still apply.
