iEHR Agent
The iEHR Agent operates within your organization's firewall, serving as a critical bridge between your healthcare infrastructure and a variety of medical devices. It facilitates seamless integration by utilizing low-level communication protocols such as HL7/MLLP, ASTM, and DICOM. While these protocols are essential for device compatibility and data exchange, their lack of encryption presents potential security vulnerabilities that need to be addressed.
To mitigate these risks, the iEHR Agent incorporates a robust adapter system. This system ensures that all data transmissions between devices and the server are conducted securely, safeguarding sensitive patient and operational data from unauthorized access or interception.
Key Security Features
To further enhance the security of your healthcare ecosystem, the iEHR Agent establishes encrypted HTTPS WebSocket channels. These secure channels allow for:
- Encrypted Data Transmission: Protects all messages exchanged between medical devices and the iEHR server cluster hosted in the cloud.
- Data Integrity: Ensures that all information remains unaltered during transmission, maintaining the accuracy and reliability of the data.
- Confidentiality: Guarantees that sensitive data is accessible only to authorized parties, minimizing the risk of data breaches.
Benefits for Your Healthcare Infrastructure
The iEHR Agent's architecture is designed to support efficient, reliable, and secure communication across your healthcare systems. By leveraging advanced encryption and seamless device compatibility, the iEHR Agent:
- Strengthens the overall security posture of your healthcare environment.
- Simplifies integration with a wide range of medical devices and systems.
- Supports compliance with industry regulations and standards for data protection.
- Facilitates smooth communication and data exchange for improved operational efficiency.
This cutting-edge solution ensures that your organization can maintain a high level of security without compromising on performance, enabling better healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.
