HIPAA-Compliant
Messaging​
Backline Secure Mobile Messaging
Today, over 85 to 90% of clinicians use standard text messaging to communicate with staff. Non-HIPAA-compliant standard SMS texting is risky, and can lead to lost or compromised PHI and penalties for compliance failures.
Great Lakes Informatics’s Backline app provides secure HIPAA-compliant messaging for iPhone and Android users in hospitals, clinics, skilled care, hospice, behavioral healthcare and other health-related organizations that exchange PHI for care coordination.

​
-
Patient-centered chat (group or single provider)
-
Care team or group focused messaging

Texting communications between internal and external providers is supported
HIPAA-Compliant Secure Texting
Patient-Centered Chat begins with the app’s patient pick-list. Simply select a specific patient for ongoing Backline exchanges. Immediate access to all exchanges on a particular patient is readily available for authorized caregivers.
Secure Chats Beyond Your Facility
​
Backline connects your facility with healthcare workers inside and outside your organization without third-party software limitations. Providers can also invite patient guardians or designated caregivers into the conversation when the time is right.
With Fam Chats, it is easy to invite patients or designated care advocates for secure text exchanges. Note that recent studies indicate that patients ignore 90% of phone calls and are 5 times more responsive to text messages.
