The new ZixVPM users are Knox Community Hospital in Mount Vernon, Ohio; Habersham County Medical Center in Demorest, Ga.; and Pomerene Hospital in Millersburg, Ohio. The service will enforce company-wide email policies for each facility to ensure secure handling of confidential patient data, including a pre-configured HIPAA lexicon that automatically detects protected health information.

The Best Method of delivery eliminates human error and ensures the safest delivery transparently and seamlessly. The process automatically determines if the recipient is a ZixCorp client, or if the sender's message needs to be held in the ZixMessage Center(TM) or a branded portal for retrieval. "ZixVPM is flexible and adaptable to meet the needs of every size organization, from large hospital systems to small regional organizations like these," said Rick Spurr, chief executive officer for ZixCorp.
