ZEPHYR COVE, Nev., May 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- VirnetX™ Holding
Corporation (NYSE AMERICAN: VHC), an Internet security software and
technology company, announced today that IntegraNet Health, a
recognized leader in the Population Health Management industry,
including the Accountable Care and Medicare Advantage Programs, has
adopted the Gabriel Secure Communications Suite for internal use
and will be rolling out the Gabriel Secure Communications Suite to
its Texas wide network of
physicians, specialists and Hospitalists to dramatically improve
the required secure transmission of HIPAA compliant medical
records.
IntegraNet Health, in an agreement facilitated by Gabriel sales
partner Asgard Managed Services, has been using Gabriel since
February 2018, and will now roll out
the Gabriel Secure Communications Suite to its network of over
1,600 primary care and specialty physicians.
"We believe the Gabriel suite is the most secure platform to
send, store, and interact with Electronic Protected Health
Information (ePHI)," said Lawrence
Wedekind, IntegraNet Health CEO. "Gabriel's robust
features allows us to improve certain outdated modalities that we
had to previously employ for securing text messages, sharing files,
and encrypting emails, resulting in measurable cost savings as we
deploy it across our entire Primary care and Specialty care
physician network. Asgard is assisting and supporting this
deployment."
"IntegraNet Health is a proven leader in population health and
we look forward to working with them and their network to achieve
and maintain HIPAA compliance," said Kendall Larsen, VirnetX CEO and President.
"HIPAA compliance must be adhered to and we believe Gabriel
provides the necessary secure transmission requirements."
