Phyve’s technology provides a comprehensive security layer for Sequoia’s XML Portal Server (XPS) that will allow healthcare organizations to not only access and act on information aggregated from disparate sources, but also guarantee the security and confidentiality of patient information in accordance with the 1996 HIPAA guidelines. "Phyve’s health care Internet security solution enables fast, efficient and appropriate information exchange," said Mark Wesker, president of Sequoia Software. "This technology will allow Sequoia to successfully package an interactive e-business solution that meets the HIPAA requirements facing our customers. We are very pleased to include Phyve among our partners." The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, also known as HIPAA, was designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare systems and protect the security and confidentiality of health information by standardizing the interchange of electronic data. Using the Sequoia / Phyve solution, healthcare organizations can use data from their existing systems to support e-business. Sequoia’s XPS aggregates content such as lab reports, insurance information, radiology reports and physician transcriptions, each existing in disparate formats and systems, through a personalized browser-based interface. Phyve’s technology ensures that all of this information is made available only to authorized users, maintaining security and patient confidentiality. "We partnered with Sequoia because their vision and proven expertise with XML-powered solutions stands out among portal vendors," said Terry Hemmings, president and CEO of Phyve. "We believe that by integrating our HIPAA security technology into XPS, we can offer healthcare organizations a faster, more cost-effective way of leveraging the benefits of e-business."
