The problem

Greg Kaczmarek, Information Security Officer at the Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center, needed a means for doctors affiliated with them to transport PHI between locations. The solution needed to be easy-to-use and operating system-independent while also adhering to strict HIPAA requirements. Part of their challenge was to ensure that doctors had encrypted data to maintain PHI privacy while also allowing them to download patient information from medical devices not powered by the Windows operating system.

THE SOLUTION

  • Highly secure, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated
  • Simple to use ap Mobile device use for authentication, including Face ID or Touch ID Remote Management ready— manage the organization’s drives anytime, anywhere
  • OS/host-independent—work across any computer, printer, scanner, thin client system, embedded equipment, and medical or military instruments, or anything with a USB port
  • No software app is required to run on the host to authenticate the use No USB communication when the drive is locked
  • No software drivers to update

the results

Crystal Clinic used the BT Drives to allow doctors to safely move PHI from one location to another. They enhanced drive security by adding on the Remote Management Console, enabling them to further restrict when and where drives could be used. Doctors then had a user-friendly solution to move PHI, while security officers with the Center could ensure that HIPAA mandates and Crystal Clinic data security policies were met.
