E-Discovery for the Healthcare Industry
Healthcare DPS offers a hosted archiving solution to protect healthcare professionals against lawsuits.
Garden City, NY - March 27, 2009: Healthcare DPS offers an Email Archiving and E-Discovery solution that enables healthcare professionals to locate, review, and produce relevant information for litigation without jeopardizing patient privacy. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Amendment details the duty to preserve and produce electronically stored information (ESI) for litigation or pending litigation. E-discovery describes the retrieval of ESI in response to legal proceeding.
Historically, the cost and complexity of installed and old-style hosted email archiving solutions has been the greatest barrier to e-discovery compliance. Additionally, healthcare professionals may believe that backup and disaster recovery meet e-discovery needs. Although necessary, backup and disaster recovery are insufficient. These systems are used to recover lost or damaged files. Using these systems to locate a specific message on a backup system or archive tape is a difficult and time-consuming process, as well as impossible if the tape is unreadable.
These challenges cause providers to adopt an approach in which they save everything or save nothing. Each option is simple, but neither is adequate. Responding to a legal discovery request requires a message archive system that is indexed, available, and searchable. An efficient email archiving and e-discovery solution serves as an insurance policy against the consequences of the inability to locate a message in response to a legal request.
Rather than dealing with the burden of email compliance and storage management, healthcare professionals should focus on the quality of patient care. Healthcare DPS offers a fast and accurate e-discovery response. The hosted email archiving enables healthcare providers to overcome the challenges of ensuring the security, privacy, and availability of protected health information through an affordable and simplified solution.
