Total Connections now uses OnPage to help its clients comply with federal security guidelines for healthcare, EMT, and law enforcement clients
Waltham, MA (PRWEB) May 08, 2012
Many healthcare, EMT, and law enforcement organizations are violating federal privacy laws without even knowing it. The reason: They’re sending emergency text messages using insecure communications technology, such as SMS and email. The consequence: Every violation of privacy laws, such as HIPAA, can result in significant fines. That’s why Total Connections, Framingham, Mass., a leading call center and medical answering service serving the healthcare, EMT, and law enforcement industries, chose OnPage for secure assured messaging to meet security requirements. That, plus significant cost savings.
“OnPage gives us the reliability, security, and intensity of a traditional pager, without the high infrastructure, hardware acquisition, monthly services costs, or need to carry another device,” says Bill Campbell, President and Founder. “But most importantly, messages sent with OnPage are secure and always get through. And we can prove that, if necessary, in a court of law with OnPage’s delivery confirmation notification, which is sent to our dispatchers after each message.”
With OnPage, Total Connections has ensured the security of emergency messages while greatly reducing the cost of paging services, and can now guarantee that client messages were received and read.
