DICOM Medical Files
The Benefits of Using FileCloud in the Healthcare Industry
Storing, Sharing, and Previewing Medical Image Easily and Compliantly
Medicine is hard enough, that’s why the tools the healthcare industry use should make life easier on healthcare professionals, not harder.
That’s where FileCloud comes in. FileCloud is a hyper-secure file sharing and storage tool that lets anyone (even the least technologically-minded) store, share, and review medical files within moments.
And, you’re able to share more than just text files. FileCloud also allows users to store, share, and preview DICOM files.
DICOM Files
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is the standard for the communication and management of medical imaging information. DICOM is most commonly used for storing and sharing medical images and integration with medical imaging devices such as scanners, servers, printers, network hardware etc. It has been widely adopted by major hospitals and medical institutions.
With FileCloud, users can store, preview, view, and share DICOM files (such as X-rays, CT scans, Ultrasounds and MRIs) quickly and securely.
These files can also be previewed within FileCloud for quick review or sharing purposes.
HIPAA Compliance
FileCloud doesn’t stop at DICOM images either. Complying with HIPAA is an incredibly important part of medicine now, and compliance most be maintained whether files are stored in paper form, on a hard drive, or online.
Rules like how long healthcare professionals must keep patient files or protecting Protected Health Information (PHI) or Electronic Protected Health Information (e-PHI) are just a small part of this complicated regulation, and non-compliance can result in financial penalties, legal repercussions, and even jail time.
Thankfully, FileCloud has a way to help, with a Compliance Center that has an entire HIPAA tab. This part of the center helps connect these complicated regulations and rules with the security options and compliance tools FileCloud provides, like retention policies, granular sharing policies, and more.
FileCloud benefits industries through HIPAA file transfer with robust encryption and detailed compliance monitoring.
In addition, FileCloud has a wealth of resources related to HIPAA file sharing and how it works in conjunction with FileCloud, like this comprehensive HIPAA white paper.
