PALO ALTO, CA, Jun 07 (MARKET WIRE) —
Voltage Security, Inc., a global leader in end-to-end data protection,
and the American Medical Association (AMA), the nation’s largest
physician organization, today announced that Voltage will provide secure
email communication on the AMA’s new health information platform for
physicians. The AMA platform will enable physicians to assess and meet
their clinical and practice needs and will provide physicians access to
information, products and services with a single, secure sign-on. The
platform, which will launch nationwide later this year, is currently
being beta tested in Michigan in collaboration with the Michigan State
Medical Society.
The AMA platform will feature Voltage SecureMail(TM), powered by the
Voltage SecureMail Network(TM), a SaaS delivery model that makes Voltage
accessible to anyone with an Internet browser. Voltage SecureMail will
encrypt and protect email communications sent between physicians,
patients and the medical community. Voltage secure email helps members of
the medical community meet federal and state healthcare privacy
regulations such as HIPAA and HITECH.
“Email is increasingly becoming the acceptable form of communication
between physicians and patients and there is nothing more important than
protecting private, personal medical information as it is electronically
shared,” said Sathvik Krishnamurthy, president and CEO of Voltage
Security. “Voltage has a strong track-record of providing easy-to-use
secure email to the medical community, and we are thrilled to expand this
through our new relationship with the AMA.”
“Online privacy and security are of utmost importance to physicians and
patients,” said AMA Board Member Joseph M. Heyman, M.D. “Voltage is a
leader in secure online communication, and users of the AMA platform will
have the peace of mind knowing that their information will always be
private.”
