When health care organizations review their operations to see where electronic protected health information (ePHI) is being saved, transmitted, and viewed, a great deal of time is spent on the obvious candidates: email, chat, stored files and health records, etc.

Many overlook the fact that ePHI can be embedded in Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks.  Consider for example:

LuxSci now offers Basic Mobile Sync and Premium Mobile Sync.  These synchronization services enable:

• Real-time two-way synchronization of Calendar, Contact, and Tasks between LuxSci WebAides and Mobile devices
• Push Email for real time notifications of new email
• Compatibile with any mobile device that supports Exchange / ActiveSync.  This includes: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android, Windows Mobile, Palm Pre/Pixi, and BlackBerry*
• HIPAA-compliant security, when used with a LuxSci HIPAA account, adds mobile synchronization for any user, even if sensitive data is present in email, calendars, contacts, or tasks.
• The same level of security can also be had in non-HIPAA accounts by using SecureLine and appropriate security settings.
• Beta: Mobile Sync services are now in “Beta” and not yet available for purchase.  The Beta testing period is expected to end sometime in January, 2011.  If you are interested being a Beta tester and using this service before then, please Contact Sales.

For complete details on the features included with this servce, see our Mobile Sync Service page.

*BlackBerry support requires the purchase of a third party app, as BlackBerry is the only major mobile device without support for over-the-air synchronization with Exchange.

LuxSci has reduced the price of WebAide licenses with new accounts and for new upgrades to existing accounts from $1.75/license/month to $1.50/license/month.

WebAide licenses will be available for only $0.50/license/month if bundled with Basic or Premium Mobile Sync licenses.  This bundle offer will be available in January, 2011, when the Mobile Sync service emerges from Beta testing status.  LuxSci accounts are eligible to beta test Mobile Sync by Contacting Sales.

LuxSci has finished updating its Web Interface, giving it a much more modern look via use of some technologies present in most modern web browsers, like Google Chrome, FireFox 3.6+, Safari, Opera 10, and Internet Explorer 9.

The web interface:

• Now is now fully compatible with Internet Explorer 9 and Google Chrome for Mac
• Is fastest in Google Chrome, out of all available web browsers
• Looks best in: Google Chrome, FireFox 3.6+, or Safari 5
• Still looks pretty good in Opera 10 and Internet Explorer 9
• Looks fine in other supported browsers (the interface is backwards compatible with older technologies) like Internet Explorer 6-8, Opera 9, FireFox 2+, and older supported versions of Safari.

LuxSci WebMail supports the export of address book entries as vCard files and of calendar entries as iCal files.  Now, WebMail further integrates your email with your address book and calendars.

If you receive an email message with a vCard file or an iCal file (or even an Outlook/Exchange meeting notice) as an attachment:

• That attachment will be parsed and displayed nicely inline in WebMail
• You will be able to send vCard attachments to your WebAide Address Book to add as new contacts
• You will be able to send iCal attachments to your Calendars as new events

Additionally, from within your address book or calendar you can select entrie(s) and click on “Send as vCard” or “Send as iCal” to compose a new email message with those entries attached.

LuxSci WebMail and WebAides makes it easy to send and receive calendar and address book entries between LuxSci users and other users whose email programs support these standard event and contact attachment file formats.

LuxSci has added a new tool to its Document WebAides for downloading multiple CSV files in one merged file. This will aggregate data from all selected files, sorting alphabetically by column, and will automatically prompt you to download it once the merge is complete.

This feature is especially useful to SecureForm users who are storing form data in WebAides in CSV format and wish to download it all at once.

Look for the “Download Merged CSV” option in the Entries dropdown menu in the Document WebAides interface.
