When making purchasing decisions, organizations must consider a vendor’s product pricing, promised benefits and level of customer service. Thorough vendor evaluation tends to result in successful investments, allowing organizations to reap the benefits of their newly acquired products without buyer’s remorse. Unfortunately, some buyers dismiss the importance of personal information security and how the vendor promises to protect user data.

HIPAA compliant text messaging enables healthcare providers to securely communicate with patients and other healthcare providers. To ensure HIPAA compliance, you need to use HIPAA standards to create secure electronic data transmissions (in this case, text messages). The goal is to secure transmissions that contain protected health information (PHI).

OnPage’s incident alert management platform continues to evolve, providing powerful features and capabilities to clients. The OnPage product team proactively monitors requests for future advancements and launches them to enhance clients’ business processes. Continuous innovation allows OnPage to align with growing business needs, while adapting to the ever-changing trends of the digital operations world.

Achieving HIPAA compliance is a key objective of today’s healthcare facilities and treatment centers. It ensures that patient information and electronic health records (EHRs) remain protected. Though important, some healthcare facilities fail to achieve HIPAA compliance. The inability to achieve compliance results in the loss of sensitive patient information, and requires facilities to pay hefty fines as a result of the intercepted data.

Alerting systems centralize all IT alerts into one intuitive platform. IT alerting systems integrate with your tooling stack, and provide alert controls that help teams increase efficiency and reduce false positives. The main functions of an IT alerting system include activating incident response, automating alerts, providing intuitive reports, and enabling quick communication between roles. To enable these functions, alerting systems should be designed with quality in mind, rather than quantity.

The overarching vision of a real-time health system (RTHS) is to help healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) move past the complexities of the digital era and align their resources to deliver value to patients, reaping the benefits of a more streamlined and efficient orchestration in the process.

DevOps pipelines enable teams to implement continuous software development processes, often by using automation and collaboration tooling. The overall goal is to quickly release software products, updates, and fixes. To ensure a DevOps pipeline works well, teams add management and monitoring tooling to the pipeline. This includes incident alert management, which supports the team’s efforts in monitoring the security of various software and environment components.

Efficient team communication requires the proper set of tools and processes, ensuring that the right persons receive timely messages. This way, recipients are well-informed of a critical issue, while having time to address the incident. Unfortunately, a large helicopter services company relied on time-wasting procedures to communicate with stakeholders, resulting in delayed incident response and resolution.

Since its inception, OnPage has been dedicated in providing a powerful critical alerting solution. This mission continues in 2020, as OnPage is pleased to introduce its ability to override the silent switch and Do Not Disturb (DND) mode on iOS. The latest advancements ensure that tasked recipients always receive high-priority, OnPage audible alerts, regardless of their current iPhone settings.

A security operations center (SOC) is the centralization of your security processes and tooling. It can enable you to monitor for, evaluate, and respond to incidents across your organization with increased efficiency and effectiveness. By centralizing your security efforts, you create greater visibility into your systems and can better analyze and detect threats. At the core of an SOC is your SOC team.
