TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Centralis Health, a leading provider of secure health messaging services, has joined DirectTrust to better inform policies, standards, and technology involved in health information exchange.
“Secure messaging is critical to ensuring patient safety and delivering complete data interoperability,” said Katie Bradley, Centralis Health’s chief operating officer. “As a provider of health messaging services, Centralis Health is committed to fostering best practices to enhance health data exchange.”
DirectTrust is a nonprofit organization committed to creating and supporting standards to ensure trust and security in health information exchange and messaging. Members gain access to DirectTrust’s services and intellectual property, as well as the ability to influence and shape the organization’s Trust Framework.
Centralis Health, which serves as a regional health information exchange (HIE) supporting small and rural providers and hospitals in the southeast, has developed two service lines to support health information exchange. hConnect offers electronic health record capabilities, and hMessage provides HIPAA-compliant communications for medical providers, essentially replacing the traditional fax machine.
hMessage already conforms with DirectTrust’s Trust Framework standards and policies, but by joining DirectTrust, Centralis Health can expand its role as a thought leader in secure health communications.
“We’ve long pushed to deliver secure health messaging services and to finally replace the ancient fax machine,” said Bradley. “And we are looking to expand those efforts through DirectTrust’s membership network.”
