SPRINGFIELD, Mass.―FeedHenry, a cloud products provider for mobile healthcare applications, this week announced a collaboration with Court Square Group, providers of enterprise business services and private clouds for regulated industries. The collaboration will lead to the development and delivery of the first fully HIPAA-compliant mobile app solution, powered by the cloud, to Health New England (HNE).
With this mobile app, HNE, a managed care organization, majority owned by Baystate Health, will be able to provide its members with a provider directory and member ID application 24/7 from any smartphone or tablet. Members will also be able to trigger directions from their current location, call a provider or access ID cards which provide policy numbers, member numbers and various co-pay and deductible amounts.
Developed on the FeedHenry mobile application platform, the mobile app integrates securely with HNE member information systems by storing and caching member details and logic in the Court Square private cloud. HIPAA compliance is ensured through FeedHenry’s end-to-end security framework from mobile device to internal system endpoints and through the deployment in Court Square’s cloud, which allows HNE to have a fully HIPAA-compliant and privately-hosted mobile solution, FeedHenry reported.
The partnership combines enterprise-grade mobility and cloud expertise, giving a secure and scalable cloud solution for healthcare and life science organizations to take advantage of the growth in mobile health apps, the company continued.
“We believe that this is an opportunity to provide our members with an even higher level of service at their fingertips,” said Phil LaCombe, VP of IT, Health New England. “We chose the Member ID Card and the Provider Search because these are the highest traffic areas on our website: www.hne.com. We anticipate that this will be the first of many mobile applications that we will provide to our customers, members, employers, brokers and providers. Court Square and FeedHenry worked closely with our team to deliver this app which we believe is the first truly HIPAA compliant cloud-based mhealth app to be deployed across multiple mobile devices from the same code base. The process was fast, seamless and above all, met our criteria for user experience and secure data integration to our internal systems.”
