ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION AGREEMENTElectronic Communication Agreement • October 21st, 2020
Contract Type FiledOctober 21st, 2020Electronic means of communication such as emails and texting are fast and efficient but if not protected by encryption, can lead to breaches in personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI). Encyption is an electronic process that scrambles our messages so hackers on the internet can’t read/steal the information. For example, I may send you an email that reads, “your thyroid study result was abnormal-we will talk about this at your next appointment”, but after encryption, a hacker might see, #*#^#KNDuhxoiwoij320847fose- which is useless information.
