How to exchange health data securely

Health data is personal information protected by medical confidentiality and by several regulations. In the course of treatment or follow-up care, healthcare professionals have to exchange those medical records with colleagues, analysis laboratories or the patients themselves. Doing so calls for a secure channel. NetExplorer offers you a platform giving health data exchanges a secure environment. Our solution comes with practical features that answer everything you expect around security and efficiency, and we set them out here.

Guaranteeing the protection of health data

All the information healthcare professionals collect about a person's condition counts as data: medical history, test or examination results, diagnoses and the treatment given, among other things. Information about disability and prescriptions is covered too. With cyberattacks against healthcare facilities multiplying, protecting that data has become a major concern. The regulatory framework obliges healthcare professionals to choose effective options such as cloud computing to keep this sensitive data secure. NetExplorer is an expert in cloud data storage and exchange. Our services are aimed at every company, and particularly at organisations whose work brings specific confidentiality needs. We have built several features for healthcare facilities and medico-social centres to keep their data secure overall.

Practical, secure features

NetExplorer is the best answer for keeping your data secure, but also for collaborating with colleagues and exchanging information with your patients. We put digital security measures and practical tools in place to make your work simpler.

Share any kind of file, with no size limit

With NetExplorer, health data can be exchanged by link or by email. You can share all sorts of digital files with healthcare professionals, partners or other outside parties. Medical records, scans, medical imaging, X-rays, administrative or insurance documents: every one of these can be shared, whatever its format. You can also do it anywhere, thanks to remote access, 24 hours a day. A large medical record can be shared in seconds to get a colleague's opinion, which saves you time and lets you adapt the care you give your patients more quickly. Keeping your data confidential is an absolute priority for us, and our secure messaging service shows it. You can set sharing options such as password protection or confirmation by SMS code with the person at the other end.

Manage access rights to your documents

Through a single platform, you can centralise all of your files and grant access rights to colleagues and outside parties alike. Access to each medical record, according to how important it is, can be limited to particular people or to members of your department alone: doctors, nurses or patients. You receive alerts whenever your documents are viewed or changed. Sharing also lets you collaborate on documents online in real time: you could work together on a piece of medical research and approve it with a healthcare professional at a distance. You can also set the options or types of access: preview only, editing and/or downloading. You can follow things in detail and know exactly who viewed or downloaded your documents, when and from which device. For your confidential documents, our platform is a secure vault, and you keep absolute control over every file. NetExplorer also includes plugins so you can share your files through everyday tools such as Outlook. You can equally receive files from an outside healthcare professional. And thanks to the digital signature, you can easily sign documents and have them signed anywhere, in a way that is entirely legal.

Keep traceability with document watermarking

With NetExplorer, you can limit data leaks easily by using our document watermarking tool. We use the WaToo watermarking tool, which marks all of your confidential documents with a fingerprint that identifies where they came from. The marking is permanent and is a considerable asset for the traceability of your documents. It is a security measure that helps prevent data leaks. In medical research, the feature is particularly useful for protecting the data of patients taking part in a trial, and the results of those trials.

NetExplorer, your approved and triple-certified specialist

The regulations covering health data protection keep evolving, with the aim of keeping that data as secure as possible. That means approval procedures for obtaining attestations of compliance and certifications. Hospitals, clinics, medical laboratories and other healthcare facilities have to choose their hosting provider on the basis of certain compliance standards and certifications. Those are the guarantee that providers have put every necessary measure in place to protect health data comprehensively.
