What You Need To Know About Email Deliverability

Email Deliverability
Erik Kangas
May 23, 2025

Email deliverability refers to the ability of emails to reach recipients’ inboxes successfully without being filtered into spam folders or blocked entirely by email service providers. This metric encompasses the entire journey an email takes from sender to recipient, including authentication protocols, sender reputation, content quality, and recipient engagement patterns. For healthcare organizations managing patient communications, provider networks, and supplier relationships, understanding email deliverability becomes particularly important given the sensitive nature of healthcare data and the need for reliable communication channels. Healthcare providers, payers, and suppliers who master email deliverability can maintain better patient relationships, reduce administrative costs, and avoid compliance issues that arise from failed communications.

How Email Service Providers Evaluate Messages

Email service providers use sophisticated algorithms to evaluate incoming messages and determine their appropriate destination within recipient email systems. These systems analyze multiple factors simultaneously, including sender authentication records, message content, sending patterns, and recipient behavior. The filtering process occurs in real-time, with providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo applying machine learning models trained on billions of email interactions to identify potential spam or malicious content.

Authentication plays a large role in this filtering process through verification of sender identity. Providers verify sender identity through SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) records. Healthcare organizations without properly configured authentication often find their appointment reminders, lab results, or billing communications relegated to spam folders, disrupting patient care workflows and administrative processes.

Content analysis represents another layer of filtering, where providers examine subject lines, message body text, and embedded links for spam indicators. Healthcare communications containing medical terminology, prescription information, or insurance details may trigger false positives if not properly formatted or if sent from domains with poor reputation scores. The complexity of these filtering systems means that even legitimate healthcare communications can face delivery challenges without proper optimization.

Recipient engagement metrics influence future email deliverability for healthcare organizations, as providers track open rates, click-through rates, and spam complaint rates. When patients consistently ignore or delete emails from healthcare organizations, providers may begin filtering future messages more aggressively. This creates a feedback loop where poor engagement leads to worse delivery rates, making it increasingly difficult to reach patients with important medical information.

Sender Reputation and Healthcare Communications

Sender reputation functions as a digital credit score for email domains and IP addresses, influencing whether healthcare organizations can reliably reach patients, providers, and business partners. Email service providers maintain reputation databases that track sending behavior, bounce rates, spam complaints, and recipient engagement over time. A single domain or IP address with poor reputation can affect email deliverability across an entire healthcare network, creating widespread communication problems.

Healthcare organizations face unique reputation challenges due to the nature of their communications and patient populations. Patient appointment reminders sent to outdated email addresses generate high bounce rates, while automated billing notifications may receive spam complaints from recipients who forgot they subscribed to such communications. These factors can gradually erode sender reputation, making it increasingly difficult to reach patients with time-sensitive medical information or coordinate care between providers.

The healthcare industry’s regulatory environment adds complexity to reputation management, as organizations must balance effective communication with privacy requirements. HIPAA compliance considerations may limit how organizations can personalize emails or track recipient behavior, potentially affecting engagement metrics that influence sender reputation. Healthcare organizations tackle these constraints while maintaining the communication effectiveness needed for patient care and business operations.

Reputation recovery in healthcare settings requires sustained effort and careful monitoring of multiple factors. Organizations must implement proper list hygiene practices, authenticate their domains correctly, and monitor feedback loops from major email providers. The process can take weeks or months, during which patient communications may continue experiencing delivery issues that could impact care coordination and administrative efficiency. Proactive reputation management helps prevent these problems before they affect patient care.

Authentication Protocols for Healthcare Email Security

Modern email deliverability depends heavily on proper implementation of authentication protocols that verify sender identity and prevent email spoofing attempts. SPF records specify which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of a domain, while DKIM adds cryptographic signatures to verify message integrity. DMARC ties these protocols together by instructing receiving servers how to handle emails that fail authentication checks, providing policy guidance for email providers.

Healthcare organizations must configure these protocols carefully to avoid authentication failures that could block legitimate patient communications. A misconfigured SPF record might prevent appointment confirmation emails from reaching patients, while improper DKIM setup could cause lab result notifications to be filtered as spam. These authentication failures can have serious implications for patient care, particularly when dealing with urgent medical communications or time-sensitive treatment instructions.

The implementation process requires coordination between IT teams, email service providers, and third-party healthcare applications that send email on behalf of the organization. Many healthcare systems use multiple platforms for patient communications, billing, and administrative functions, each requiring proper authentication configuration to maintain good email deliverability across all communication channels. This complexity makes authentication management an important component of healthcare IT operations.

Regular monitoring and maintenance of authentication protocols helps ensure continued email deliverability for healthcare organizations. DNS records can change unexpectedly, third-party applications may modify their sending practices, and email providers periodically update their authentication requirements. Healthcare organizations benefit from establishing procedures for ongoing authentication monitoring and having technical expertise available to address configuration issues quickly when they arise.

Content Quality and Compliance Considerations

Email content quality directly affects deliverability, with providers using advanced algorithms to evaluate message structure, language patterns, and formatting for spam indicators. Healthcare organizations must balance informative content with delivery requirements, ensuring that medical communications reach their intended recipients without triggering spam filters. This balance is challenging when dealing with complex medical terminology, prescription information, or insurance-related content that may resemble spam to automated filtering systems.

HIPAA compliance adds another layer of complexity to healthcare email content, as organizations must protect patient information while maintaining effective communication channels. Emails containing protected health information require additional security measures and careful content formatting to avoid both compliance violations and deliverability issues. The challenge is in creating compliant, informative communications that also pass through increasingly sophisticated spam filters without compromising patient privacy or care quality.

Subject line optimization also plays a role in healthcare email deliverability, as providers analyze these elements for spam indicators and patient engagement patterns. Generic subject lines like “Appointment Reminder” or “Lab Results Available” may perform differently across various email providers, requiring healthcare organizations to test and optimize their messaging strategies while maintaining compliance with healthcare communication regulations. Personalization can improve engagement but must be balanced with privacy requirements and spam filter sensitivities.

Message formatting and design elements influence both deliverability and patient engagement with healthcare communications. HTML emails with excessive images, complex layouts, or suspicious formatting may trigger spam filters, while plain text messages may not engage recipients effectively. Healthcare organizations must find the right balance between visual appeal and delivery reliability, often requiring testing across multiple email clients and providers to ensure consistent performance.

List Management and Patient Engagement Strategies

Effective list management forms the foundation of sustainable email deliverability for healthcare organizations managing communications with patients, providers, and suppliers. Clean, engaged recipient lists generate better delivery rates and help maintain positive sender reputation over time. Healthcare organizations must implement systematic approaches to list hygiene, including regular removal of bounced email addresses, management of unsubscribe requests, and monitoring of engagement patterns across different communication types.

Patient engagement patterns in healthcare differ significantly from typical marketing communications, as medical emails often contain information that recipients need rather than want. Appointment reminders, lab results, and billing notifications serve functional purposes that may not generate traditional engagement metrics like high open rates or click-through rates. Understanding these patterns helps healthcare organizations optimize their sending strategies without compromising the informational value of their communications or patient care quality.

Segmentation strategies in healthcare email deliverability focus on communication types and recipient preferences rather than demographic targeting approaches. Patients may engage differently with preventive care reminders compared to urgent test results, requiring sending approaches that consider both deliverability factors and patient communication preferences. This segmentation helps maintain good sender reputation while ensuring that different types of healthcare communications reach their intended recipients effectively.

Data quality management includes verification of patient contact information, preference management, and communication history tracking. Healthcare organizations benefit from implementing processes to capture updated email addresses during patient visits, verify contact information through multiple channels, and maintain records of communication preferences that respect patient choices while supporting care coordination needs. These practices improve both deliverability and patient satisfaction with healthcare communications.

Monitoring and Maintaining Email Deliverability Performance

Monitoring of email deliverability metrics provides healthcare organizations with the data needed to identify and address communication issues before they impact patient care or administrative operations. Key metrics include delivery rates, bounce rates, spam complaint rates, and inbox placement percentages across different email providers. These metrics help organizations understand how their communications perform across various platforms and identify potential problems with specific communication types or recipient segments.

Healthcare organizations should establish monitoring systems that track deliverability performance across different communication channels, including patient portal notifications, appointment reminders, billing communications, and provider-to-provider messages. This approach helps identify patterns that might indicate authentication issues, content problems, or reputation concerns that could affect the organization’s ability to communicate effectively with patients and business partners. Regular analysis of these patterns enables proactive problem-solving and continuous improvement.

Deliverability testing and optimization require ongoing attention to changing email provider policies, spam filter updates, and evolving patient communication preferences. Healthcare organizations benefit from implementing A/B testing for subject lines, send times, and content formats while maintaining compliance with healthcare regulations. Testing should include evaluation of deliverability performance across different email clients, devices, and providers to ensure consistent communication effectiveness.

Regular deliverability audits should include testing of authentication protocols, review of sender reputation scores, analysis of content performance, and evaluation of list management practices. These audits help healthcare organizations maintain optimal email deliverability while ensuring that their communication strategies remain aligned with both technical requirements and healthcare industry best practices for patient communication and data protection. Documentation of audit results and remediation activities shows commitment to maintaining reliable patient communications and regulatory compliance.

Know the Biggest Email Threats Facing Healthcare Right Now

July 16, 2025
Pete Wermter

Due to its near-universal adoption, speed, and cost-effectiveness, email remains one of the most common communication channels in healthcare. Consequently, it’s one of the most frequent targets for cyber attacks, as malicious actors are acutely aware of the vast amounts of sensitive data contained in messages – and standard email communication’s inherent vulnerabilities.

In light of this, healthcare organizations must remain aware of the evolving email threat landscape, and implement effective strategies to protect the electronic protected health information (ePHI) included in email messages. Failing to properly secure email communications jeopardizes patient data privacy, which can disrupt operations, result in costly HIPAA compliance violations, and, most importantly, compromise the quality of their patients’ healthcare provision.

With all this in mind, this post details the biggest email threats faced by healthcare organizations today, with the greatest potential to cause your business or practice harm by compromising patient and company data. You can also get our 2025 report on the latest email threats, which includes strategies on how to overcome them.

Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts, corrupts, or deletes a healthcare organization’s data or critical systems, and enables the cybercriminals that deployed it to demand a payment (i.e., a ransom) for their restoration. Healthcare personnel can unwittingly download ransomware onto their devices by opening a malicious email attachment or clicking on a link contained in an email.

In recent years, ransomware has emerged as the email security threat with the most significant financial impact. In 2024, for instance, there were over 180 confirmed ransomware attacks with an average paid ransom of nearly $1 million.

Email Client Misconfiguration

While a healthcare organization may implement email security controls, many fail to know the security gaps of their current email service provider (ESP) or understand the value of a HIPAA compliant email platform, leaving data vulnerable to email threats, such as unauthorized access and ePHI exposure, and also, subsequently, a greater risk of compliance violations and reputation damage.

Common types of email misconfiguration include:

Lack of enforced TLS encryption: resulting in emails being transmitted in plaintext, rendering the patient data they contain readable by cybercriminals in the event of interception during transit.
Improper SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup: failure to configure or align these email authentication protocols correctly gives malicious actors greater latitude to successfully spoof trusted domains.
Disabled or lax user authentication: a lack of authentication measures, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), increases the risk of unauthorized access and ePHI exposure.
Misconfigured secure email gateways: incorrect rules or filtering policies can allow phishing emails through or block legitimate messages.
Outdated or unsupported email client software: simply neglecting to download and apply the latest updates or patches from the email client’s vendor can leave vulnerabilities, which are well-known to cybercriminals, exposed to attack.

Social Engineering Attacks

A social engineering attack involves a malicious actor deceiving or convincing healthcare employees into granting unauthorized access or exposing patient data. Relying on psychological manipulation, social engineering attacks exploit a person’s trust, urgency, fear, or curiosity, and encompass an assortment of threats, including phishing and business email compromise (BEC) attacks, which are covered in greater depth below.

Phishing

As mentioned above, phishing is a type of social engineering attack, but they are so widespread that it warrants its own mention. Phishing sees malicious actors impersonating legitimate companies, or their employees, to trick victims into revealing sensitive patient data.

Subsequently, healthcare organizations can be subjected to several different types of phishing attacks, which include:

General phishing: otherwise known as bulk phishing or simply ‘phishing’, these are broad, generic attacks where emails are sent to large numbers of recipients, impersonating trusted entities to steal credentials or deliver malware.
Spear phishing: more targeted attacks that involve personalized phishing emails crafted for a specific healthcare organization or individual. These require more research on the part of malicious actors and typically use relevant insider details gleaned from their reconnaissance for additional credibility.
Whaling: a form of spear phishing that specifically targets healthcare executives or other high-level employees.
Clone phishing: when a cybercriminal duplicates a legitimate email that was previously received by the target, replacing links or attachments with malicious ones.
Credential phishing: also known as ‘pharming’, this involves emails that link to fake login pages designed to capture healthcare employees’ usernames and passwords under the guise of frequently used legitimate services.

Domain Impersonation and Spoofing

This category of threat revolves around making malicious messages appear legitimate, which can allow them to bypass basic email security checks. As alluded to above, these attacks exploit weaknesses in email client misconfigurations to trick the recipient, typically to expose and exfiltrate patient data, steal employee credentials, or distribute malware.

Domain spoofing email threats involve altering the “From” address in an email header to make it appear to be from a legitimate domain. If a healthcare organization fails to properly configure authentication protocols like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, there’s a greater risk of their email servers failing to flag malicious messages and allowing them to land in users’ inboxes.

Domain impersonation, on the other hand, requires cybercriminals to register a domain that closely resembles a legitimate one. This may involve typosquatting, e.g., using “paypa1.com” instead of “paypal.com”. Alternatively, a hacker may utilize a homograph attack, which substitutes visually similar characters, e.g., from different character sets, such as Cyrillic. Malicious actors will then send emails from these fraudulent domains, which often have the ability to bypass basic email filters because they aren’t exact matches for blacklisted domains. Worse still, such emails can appear authentic to users, particularly if the attacker puts in the effort to accurately mimic the branding, formatting, and tone used by the legitimate entity they’re attempting to impersonate.

Insider Email Threats

In addition to external parties, employees within a healthcare organization can pose email threats to the security of its PHI. On one hand, insider threats can be intentional, involving disgruntled employees or third-party personnel abusing their access privileges to steal or corrupt patient data. Alternatively, they could be the result of mere human error or negligence, stemming from ignorance, or even fatigue.

What’s more, insider threats have been exacerbated by the rise of remote and flexible conditions since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created more complex IT infrastructures that are more difficult to manage and control.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) Attacks

A BEC attack is a highly targeted type of social engineering attack in which cybercriminals gain access to, or copy, a legitimate email account to impersonate a known and trusted individual within an organization. BEC attacks typically require extensive research on the targeted healthcare company and rely less on malicious links or attachments, unlike phishing, which can make them difficult to detect.

Due to the high volume of emails transmitted within the healthcare industry, and the sensitive nature of PHI often included in communications to patients and between organizations, the healthcare industry is a consistent target of BEC attacks.

BEC attacks come in several forms, such as:

Account compromise: hijacking a real employee’s account and sending fraudulent messages.
Executive fraud: impersonating high-ranking personnel to request urgent financial transactions or access to sensitive data.
Invoice fraud: pretending to be a vendor asking for the payment of a fraudulent invoice into an account under their control.

Supply Chain Risk

Healthcare organizations increasingly rely on third-party vendors, including cloud service providers, software vendors, and billing or payment providers to serve their patients and customers. They constantly communicate with their supply chain partners via email, with some messages containing sensitive patient data; moreover, some of these organizations will have various levels of access to the PHI under their care.

Consequently, undetected vulnerabilities or lax security practices within your supply chain network could serve as entry points for email threats and malicious action. For instance, cybercriminals can compromise the email servers of a healthcare company’s third-party vendor or partner, and then send fraudulent emails from their domains to deploy malware or extract patient data.

Another, somewhat harrowing, way to understand supply chain risk is that while your organization may have a robust email security posture, in reality, it’s only as strong as that of your weakest third-party vendor’s security controls.

Smaller therapy practices often prefer these mainstream platforms for their familiarity and integration with other practice tools.

Security Considerations for Healthcare Communications

Secure healthcare communications require thoughtful security approaches due to their sensitive nature. HIPAA compliant email should include protections against phishing attacks that might target patient information. Data loss prevention tools identify and secure messages containing sensitive information even when users forget to enable encryption. Account recovery procedures must balance security with practicality for small practices. Multi-factor authentication prevents unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised.

For example, healthcare personnel handling substance use disorder information need email systems that comply with both HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 requirements. Solutions should accommodate supervision relationships where communications may need controlled sharing with supervisors.

Client Experience and Usability Factors

The best HIPAA compliant email solutions balance security with positive client experiences. Buyers should evaluate how encryption affects the client’s process for reading and responding to messages. Some solutions require clients to create accounts or install software, while others deliver protected messages that open with minimal friction. Mobile compatibility matters as many clients prefer communicating from smartphones. Branding options allow therapists to maintain professional appearance in all communications. Automated responses help set appropriate expectations about response timing and emergency protocols. Client-facing secure forms streamline intake processes while maintaining compliance.

HIPAA Compliant Email Implementation for Medical Practices

Implementing secure email requires planning tailored to medical practice workflows. Solo practitioners need solutions with straightforward setup and minimal ongoing maintenance. Group practices benefit from centralized administration that enforces consistent security policies across all therapists. Practice management integration connects secure email with scheduling, billing, and documentation systems.

Transition planning helps migrate existing communications to new secure platforms without disrupting client relationships. Documentation templates ensure compliance with both HIPAA and professional ethical standards for electronic communications. Training materials must address both technical operation and appropriate clinical use cases. When implementing HIPAA compliant email practice admins should create workflow procedures that incorporate secure communication into their practice routines.

Cost Considerations For Selecting Email Services

Healthcare providers must balance security requirements with budget realities when selecting HIPAA compliant email. Pricing models vary significantly, with some services charging per user while others offer flat-rate plans better suited to solo practitioners. Additional fees may apply for features like secure forms, extra storage, or advanced security controls. Implementation costs include time spent on configuration, training, and client education about new communication methods. Some platforms offer discounted rates for professional association members or multi-year commitments. Buyers should calculate the total cost of ownership beyond monthly subscription fees, including technical support and compliance documentation. Affordable HIPAA compliant email options exist for practices of all sizes, but require thoughtful evaluation of both immediate pricing and long-term value.

Integrating Email with Broader Practice Security

HIPAA compliant email represents one component of comprehensive practice security. Email solutions should complement electronic health record systems while maintaining appropriate boundaries between clinical documentation and communications. Device management policies ensure therapists access email securely across computers, tablets, and smartphones. Backup procedures preserve communications while maintaining security protections. Incident response planning prepares therapists for addressing potential security issues or breaches. Regular security reviews evaluate whether email practices continue to meet evolving compliance requirements. By integrating email security with broader practice safeguards, therapists create communication systems that protect client information throughout its lifecycle.

Why is High Email Deliverability Essential for Healthcare Companies?

June 30, 2025
Pete Wermter

With email communication playing a critical role in the customer engagement strategies of virtually every organization, high email deliverability rates are vital to success across all industries. In the healthcare sector, however, the stakes can be far higher. An undelivered email isn’t merely an inconvenience or a lost sales opportunity; it could mean a missed appointment, a delay in a prescription refill, or a failure to get a patient critical healthcare information. Or worse, the email could end up in the hands of an unintended recipient, including bad actors and cybercriminals.

With this in mind, this post details why high email deliverability is essential for healthcare companies, as well as how your organization benefits from reliable and rapid email delivery.

Speed and Efficiency

The primary reason that high email deliverability is crucially important to healthcare organizations is to best guarantee essential communications that directly impact an individual’s healthcare journey reach them promptly. These transactional emails can include appointment reminders, prescription renewals, product order confirmations, test results, explanation of benefits notices, payment reminders, and invoices. Administrative notifications related to software or systems that a patient might use, such as a password reset for an online portal, also fall under the category of transactional emails.

When transactional emails are delayed or fail to reach people altogether, they can compromise a patient’s ability to access care, adhere to treatment plans, stay informed on key facets of their healthcare journey, and, ultimately, achieve optimal health outcomes.

When a patient fails to receive an expected email, such as a prescription confirmation, for example, it can leave them feeling confused and unsure of what to do next. For individuals who are sick, elderly, or managing chronic conditions, this can cause unnecessary stress, anxiety, and even compromise adherence to care plans.

In contrast, high email delivery rates create the opposite effect, helping patients get the communications and information they need. This increases their trust in your company and gives them a firmer sense of control over their healthcare journey.

Compliance with HIPAA Regulations

While the above point stresses the importance of reliable email delivery for the patient’s and customer’s benefit, healthcare companies also have a vested interest in ensuring communications reach the intended recipient for regulatory and patient privacy reasons.

To comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), emails that contain sensitive patient data, i.e., electronic protected health information (ePHI), must be securely delivered to the intended recipient. If, on the other hand, a communication containing ePHI fails to reach the intended recipient patient, that represents a failure in secure communications and a potential HIPAA violation for your organization.

After all, where did the patient’s data go? Was it delivered to the wrong person? Was it blocked by a spam filter and is left sitting unencrypted on a server somewhere?

If you can’t answer these questions, you could be exposed to a data breach, and it could result in a HIPAA violation, meaning your organization incurrs the associated consequences, including financial penalties and reputational damage. Conversely, deploying a fully HIPAA compliant email solution, such as LuxSci, supported by a dedicated infrastructure and designed for high email delivery enables your organization to include patient data in communications with confidence and ensure you messages land in the recipient’s inbox.

Greater Levels of Personalization and Engagement

Finally, high email deliverability rates are essential for healthcare organizations because they help drive greater levels of engagement with patients and customers. Higher email deliverability means better inbox placement, leading to more emails being opened, more links being clicked, and more conversions for your communications and campaigns.

In the case of healthcare retailers, for example, this equates to converting more prospects into customers and, consequently, maximizing the ROI of email marketing campaigns, in some cases with up to 80% better results.

While healthcare marketers, understandably, focus most of their efforts on crafting attention-grabbing headlines, personalizing the message content, and the email’s design elements, these factors are rendered irrelevant if the message fails to reach the recipient in the first place! When you take this into account, high email deliverability is a crucial component in optimizing the ROI of email communications and campaigns, and an all too often overlooked component at that.

Healthcare providers, payers, and suppliers can choose from various HIPAA compliant email options that range from standalone secure messaging platforms to integrated solutions that work with existing healthcare systems. Understanding available HIPAA compliant email solutions helps organizations select appropriate tools for their communication needs while maintaining regulatory compliance and protecting patient privacy.

Types of HIPAA Compliant Email Solutions

Several categories of HIPAA compliant email solutions serve different organizational needs and technical requirements. Cloud-based secure email platforms provide hosted solutions that require minimal technical infrastructure while offering enterprise-grade security features. These platforms handle encryption, server maintenance, and security updates, allowing healthcare organizations to focus on patient care rather than email system management. On-premises HIPAA compliant email systems give organizations direct control over their email infrastructure and data storage locations. Hybrid solutions combine cloud convenience with on-premises control, allowing organizations to customize their email security approach based on specific requirements. Email encryption gateways work with existing email systems to add HIPAA compliance features without requiring complete system replacement.

Security Features in HIPAA Compliant Email Platforms

HIPAA compliant email platforms include end-to-end encryption that protects messages and attachments from unauthorized access during transmission and storage. Transport Layer Security protocols secure connections between email servers, while message-level encryption ensures that only intended recipients can read email content. Digital signatures verify sender authenticity and message integrity, preventing tampering or impersonation. Multi-factor authentication requires users to provide additional verification beyond passwords before accessing email accounts. Access controls limit which users can send emails to external recipients and which types of information can be included in different message categories. Automatic data loss prevention features scan outgoing emails for protected health information and apply appropriate security measures or block transmission of potentially sensitive content.

Business Associate Agreements and Vendor Requirements

Healthcare organizations using HIPAA compliant email services need business associate agreements with their email providers to ensure regulatory compliance. These agreements specify how email vendors will protect patient information, limit data use to authorized purposes, and report security incidents or unauthorized disclosures. Email providers operating as business associates must implement appropriate safeguards and allow healthcare organizations to audit their security practices. Vendor selection criteria should include security certifications, compliance track records, and technical capabilities that meet organizational requirements. Service level agreements define uptime expectations, support response times, and data recovery procedures. Due diligence processes help verify that email providers have appropriate security controls and compliance programs before entering into business relationships.

Implementation Challenges and Solutions

Healthcare organizations implementing HIPAA compliant email often encounter workflow disruptions as staff adapt to new security procedures and software interfaces. Training programs help users understand proper email security practices and organizational policies for handling protected health information. Change management strategies address resistance to new procedures and ensure that staff members understand the importance of email security compliance. Technical integration challenges arise when connecting HIPAA compliant email systems with existing healthcare applications and databases. Application programming interfaces enable custom integrations that streamline workflows while maintaining security standards. Migration planning addresses data transfer from legacy email systems and ensures that historical communications remain accessible when needed.

Cost Considerations for HIPAA Compliant Email

HIPAA compliant email solutions involve various cost components including software licensing, implementation services, ongoing support, and staff training expenses. Per-user subscription models allow organizations to scale email security based on their actual usage patterns. Enterprise licensing agreements may provide cost advantages for larger healthcare organizations with many email users. Hidden costs can include system integration expenses, data migration fees, and productivity losses during implementation periods. Return on investment calculations should consider potential savings from avoiding HIPAA violation penalties, reduced risk of data breaches, and improved operational efficiency from streamlined secure communication processes. Long-term cost analysis helps organizations budget appropriately for ongoing email security requirements.

Selecting the Right HIPAA Compliant Email Solution

Healthcare organizations should evaluate HIPAA compliant email options based on their specific communication patterns, technical infrastructure, and regulatory requirements. Feature comparisons help identify which platforms offer the security capabilities and integration options needed for particular use cases. Pilot testing allows organizations to evaluate user experience and system performance before making long-term commitments. Vendor demonstrations provide opportunities to assess ease of use, administrative features, and customer support quality. Reference checks with similar healthcare organizations offer insights into real-world performance and implementation experiences. Decision frameworks that consider security requirements, usability needs, and budget constraints help organizations select HIPAA compliant email solutions that will serve their long-term communication and compliance objectives effectively.

Overcoming Barriers To Successful Digital Health Engagement

March 24, 2025
Pete Wermter

Effective patient engagement is increasingly becoming a top priority for many healthcare organizations – and for good reason.

First and foremost, the more a patient or customer is engaged in their healthcare journey, the better their health outcomes and quality of life. With increased communication and engagement, patients are more likely to have potential conditions diagnosed sooner, take preventative measures to prevent illnesses, and educate themselves on ways to manage and improve their health.

However, the benefits don’t end there and aren’t restricted to the patient. Engaged patients pay bills faster, are more open to new products and services, and report higher levels of satisfaction with the companies that contribute to their health and well being. For healthcare providers, payers, and suppliers, this results in higher revenue, more opportunities for growth, and the attainment of long-term organizational goals.

Digital Patient Engagement Is Easier than Ever

Fortunately, advances in technology and their rapid adoption by patients and customers (expedited by the COVID-19 pandemic) have made it easier for healthcare organizations to achieve successful digital interactions and engagement. Healthcare companies have more tools and channels than ever before to help conduct personalized engagement campaigns that meet patients on their terms, making it easier to capture their attention. Secure email takes it even further with the ability to include protected health information in messages to personalize

Despite these advancements, however, there are still several barriers that prevent healthcare companies from engaging with patients and reaping the associated benefits. Fortunately, each barrier can be overcome to help patients and customers feel more included and instrumental in their healthcare journeys.

With this in mind, this post discusses the main barriers to digital patient engagement and how to overcome them to drive better healthcare outcomes for your patients and growth for your organization.

The Main Barriers To Digital Health Engagement

The four key barriers to digital health engagement that we’ll explore in this post are as follows:

1. Low Health Literacy

1. Privacy And Security Concerns

1. Age And Cultural Differences

1. Lack Of Personalization

Let’s review each barrier in turn, while offering potential solutions that will contribute to greater digital health patient engagement for your healthcare organization.

Low Health Literacy

The first barrier to successful digital health patient engagement is your patients having insufficient health or medical knowledge. Healthcare is laden with terminology, including medical conditions, pharmaceuticals, the human anatomy, and many patients simply don’t understand enough to get more involved with their healthcare journey. Worse still, few patients will admit they don’t understand, as people are often embarrassed at their lack of knowledge.

Consequently, if your digital health patient engagement campaigns are heavy with medical jargon and lack personalization, patients won’t act on the information to drive better outcomes.

Solution: Create Educational Health Content

Develop simple educational resources for your patients that apply to their unique needs and condition. This will help them understand their state of health and make better sense of subsequent communications they’ll receive from you and their other healthcare providers.

This educational content could be in the form of periodic email newsletters, giving you a great reason to keep in touch with your patients. Alternatively, they could take the form of blog posts or articles on a patient portal, which could be supported by an email marketing campaign to let patients know about the article. In helping to increase your patients’ health literacy, you offer additional value as a healthcare provider, payer or supplier.

Additionally, keep the medical jargon in your email communications and other patient engagement channels to a minimum. Empathize with the fact that some patients won’t understand as much as others when it comes to healthcare provision and explain things as plainly as possible.

Data Privacy And Security Concerns

Unfortunately, due to its sensitivity and critical nature patient data, i.e., protected health information (PHI) is highly prized by cybercriminals. Subsequently, there have been many high-profile healthcare breaches, such as the Change Healthcare breach, in early 2024, which affected 100 million individuals, that make patients increasingly wary about sharing health-related information via email, text, or other digital communication channels.

That said, their wary attitude is the right one to adopt, but not at the expense of enhancing engagement and improving their health outcomes.

Solution: Invest In HIPAA Compliant Communication Tools

Ensure that the digital tools you use to engage with patients possess the security features required for HIPAA compliance. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides a series of guidelines that healthcare organizations must comply with to best safeguard PHI. Consequently, solutions that promote their commitment to HIPAA compliance, such as LuxSci, will understand the privacy, security, and regulatory needs of healthcare companies and have developed their tools accordingly.

Most importantly, a HIPAA compliant vendor will sign a Business Associates Agreement (BAA), the legal documentation that outlines your respective responsibilities regarding the protection of PHI. Safe in the knowledge that the patient data under your care is secure, you can concentrate your efforts on personalizing your digital communication campaigns for maximum effect.

Age And Cultural Differences

Ineffective patient engagement efforts (or a complete lack of engagement, altogether) can reinforce cliches about the use of digital tools within particular patient groups. The reality, however, is that many healthcare organizations don’t account for age differences and channel preferences in their patient engagement strategies.

Subsequently, if you only engage with patients on a single communication channel, you risk alienating others because it’s not their medium of choice.

Solution: Adopt a Multi-Channel Engagement Strategy

Instead of focusing on one communication medium, diversify your approach and adopt a multi-channel engagement strategy. This could encompass email, SMS, and phone outreach, for instance. This covers the more proverbial bases and gives you a chance to engage with patients on their preferred terms.

Lack Of Personalization

One of the main reasons that healthcare organizations fail to engage with their patients is that they adopt a “one-size-fits-all” approach, attempting to craft communications that appeal to as many people as possible. Unfortunately, this has the opposite of the desired approach, not connecting anyone in particular and engaging few patients as a result.

Solution: Personalize Your Patient Engagement Campaigns with PHI

With a HIPAA compliant solution, you can use PHI to personalize patient engagement, leveraging their health data to craft messaging that reflects their specific condition, needs, and where they are along their healthcare journey. PHI also can be used to segment patients into subgroups, grouping them by specific commonalities such as age, gender, health condition, and lifestyle factors.

Why Is Marketing Important to a Medical Practice?

October 7, 2024
Erik Kangas

Marketing helps medical practices attract new patients, retain existing ones, build their reputation, and communicate their value in competitive healthcare markets. Effective practice marketing increases patient awareness of available services, educates communities about health topics, and establishes trust with potential patients. A strategic marketing approach allows practices to grow sustainably while maintaining focus on quality patient care.

Patient Acquisition and Practice Growth

Medical practices depend on a consistent stream of new patients to maintain financial health and expand their services. Marketing campaigns that present specialties, physician credentials, and treatment approaches help differentiate a practice from local competitors. When potential patients search for healthcare providers online, digital marketing ensures the practice appears in relevant local results. Many successful practices implement referral programs where current patients recommend services to friends and family, creating organic growth. Geographic expansion becomes possible when marketing targets new communities or demographic groups with specific healthcare needs. Without effective marketing, even excellent medical practices can struggle to maintain optimal patient volume.

Strengthening Patient Relationships

Patient relationships flourish beyond initial appointments when practices implement thoughtful marketing strategies. Regular health newsletters educate patients about relevant medical topics while keeping the practice top-of-mind between visits. Automated appointment reminders decrease no-shows and demonstrate respect for patients’ time commitments. Many practices find that personalized communications acknowledging birthdays or health milestones create meaningful connections that patients appreciate. Effective promotion of patient portal features increases engagement with health information and simplifies administrative interactions. Maintaining existing patient relationships through marketing typically costs less than acquiring new patients. Patient loyalty translates to word-of-mouth recommendations that benefit practices more than most paid advertising.

Building Practice Reputation

In competitive healthcare markets, reputation directly influences which providers patients choose to visit. Consistent marketing messages about quality care and positive patient experiences shape public perception over time. Patients increasingly research providers online before making appointments, making reputation management across review platforms essential for practice success. A professional website featuring physician backgrounds, facility information, and patient stories establishes credibility with potential new patients. Local involvement through community health initiatives or event sponsorships builds goodwill while increasing practice visibility. Prospective patients often form their first impression of a practice long before any clinical interaction occurs. Medical practices with solid reputations attract more patients and qualified clinical staff seeking respected work environments.

Service Awareness and Education

Patients frequently remain unaware of many services available at medical practices they already visit regularly. Marketing campaigns presenting specialized treatments, technologies, or expanded services help patients understand all available care options. Educational content addressing when to seek care for specific symptoms empowers patients to make appropriate healthcare decisions. Seasonal health communications about topics like flu prevention or sun safety address timely concerns while promoting preventive visits. When patients understand the full range of available services, they make more informed choices about their healthcare needs. Practice revenue becomes more consistent when patients utilize appropriate services based on marketing education. The combination of better-informed patients and optimized service utilization benefits both medical outcomes and practice sustainability.

Communicating Practice Changes

The healthcare landscape continuously evolves through provider changes, location expansions, and technological advancements. Marketing creates structured communication channels to inform patients about these developments without causing confusion. New physician announcements help build patient panels quickly when practices expand their medical teams. When practices open additional locations, targeted geographic marketing builds awareness in new service areas. Insurance network changes require clear, timely communication to affected patients to prevent appointment surprises. The introduction of telehealth services depends on effective marketing to achieve patient adoption and utilization. Practices that communicate changes clearly maintain patient confidence during transitions and prevent unnecessary anxiety. Throughout healthcare evolutions, marketing provides the link between practice advancements and patient awareness.

Measuring Practice Performance

Marketing activities generate valuable data that shows a practice’s market position and operational performance. Patient satisfaction surveys reveal service strengths and improvement opportunities that might otherwise remain hidden. Website analytics identify which services generate the greatest public interest, helping practices allocate clinical resources appropriately. Campaign tracking metrics connect specific marketing investments to appointment bookings and revenue generation. Understanding referral sources helps practices identify which professional relationships and community connections drive patient growth. Practice leadership makes more informed business decisions when marketing data supplements clinical quality measures. The combination of marketing metrics and clinical outcomes provides full insight into overall practice performance from multiple perspectives.

Data-Driven Healthcare: Leveraging PHI for Personalized Patient Engagement

February 28, 2025
Pete Wermter

As the healthcare industry moves toward delivering more efficient, value-driven care, the effective use of patient data, including Protected Health Information (PHI), to personalize communications is an essential component of data-driven care: strategies for improving engagement, fostering trust, and promoting healthier patient outcomes.

However, using PHI in email and communications to facilitate data-driven care requires careful attention to implementing the appropriate security measures required to safeguard sensitive patient data and satisfy HIPAA compliance requirements.

In this article, we detail how healthcare providers, payers, and suppliers can securely use PHI to tailor email messages and improve patient relationships using a data-driven approach, delivering greater efficiency and a greater experience for all.

What is data-driven care?

Data-driven care involves the use of patient data, analytics, and, in recent years, AI-driven insights to improve decision-making, personalize treatments, and improve health outcomes for patients.

In the past patient care was driven by clinical experience, generalized treatment protocols, and, the comparatively limited data kept on paper records. Naturally, despite healthcare professionals doing their best, this approach had several limitations. Clinical experience can easily be defied by unique health circumstances. Patients may not respond to general treatment plans, and paper records are prone to loss, damage, and human error, as well as being often slow and/or complicated to transfer.

Fortunately, the digitization of patient data (transforming it from PHI to ePHI (electronic protected health information) marked the advent of data-driven care. With patient data stored in Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, customer data platforms (CDP), and revenue cycle management platforms (RCM), it became easier for healthcare organizations to store, update and, most importantly, back up and share patient data.

Additionally, advanced analytics has made it easier for healthcare companies to offer more effective proactive outreach and engagement, based on pertinent data points, as opposed to merely reacting to symptoms that a patient may display over time.

Better still, technological advancements have shown that we’re just scratching the service when it comes to the advancement and potential of data-driven care. For example, AI models are becoming increasingly effective at designing personalized treatment plans for patients: using the ePHI collected by their healthcare providers.

As these digital solutions grow in sophistication and dependability, they’ll be able to consistently assist healthcare professionals in treating, engaging and marketing to patients effectively. Should these technologies reach their potential, patients will better respond to their personalized treatment plans, and healthcare providers will be able to treat more patients in less time – and a greater number of people will enjoy positive health outcomes and a better quality of life.

What Are the Benefits of Data-Driven Care?

Better Decision-Making: the more information a healthcare professional any segment of the industry has at their disposal, the better their ability to make decisions about potential treatment options, education and communications, and ongoing care.
Personalized Treatment Plans: using patient history, genetics, and lifestyle data, applications can tailor treatments to an individual’s state of health.
Early Disease Detection: predictive analytics help identify health risks before symptoms appear, increasing the chances of a condition being caught early and becoming more detrimental to the patient’s health
Operational Efficiency: better decision-making saves time, preserves scarce resources, and helps ensure healthcare practitioners are employed to their full capabilities.
Better Patient Engagement: data-driven insights promote proactive patient communication, such as appointment reminders, annual check-up or test reminders, and preventative care advice.

How Does Data-Driven Care Relate to HIPAA Compliance?

Data-driven care depends on collecting, storing, and sharing sensitive patient data, which must comply with HIPAA’s Privacy and Security Rules, both of which are designed to ensure that the proper safeguards are put in place to secure ePHI. With this in mind, key compliance concerns surrounding data-driven care include:

Data Security: ensuring end-to-send PHI encryption in transit and at rest.
Access Controls: limiting PHI access to authorized personnel only, i.e., those who have reason to access it as part of their jobs.
Third-Party Risk Management: ensuring you have Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) in place with any third parties with access to the PHI under your care, e.g., email platforms, equipment suppliers, online pharmacists, etc.
Audit Trails & Compliance Reporting: tracking who accesses patient data and how it’s used. Additionally, retaining copies of these logs for extended periods as per differing compliance regulations (e.g., retaining them for six years as per HIPAA regulations).

What Types of PHI Can Be Used in Email Communications?

When it comes to using PHI for personalized emails, healthcare organizations need to be clear about what information can be included. PHI can encompass a wide range of data, including:

Personal Identifiers: these identifiers include a patient’s name, address, contact details, Social Security number, and other personal information. On their own, they may not necessarily count as PHI, but when medical-related data, it must be secured as per HIPAA regulations.
Medical History: conditions, diagnoses, treatment plans, lab results, and medications.
Clinical Data: this includes test results, imaging reports, medical procedures, surgical history, and appointment information.
Treatment Information: recommendations for medications, treatments, and care plans, which can be personalized based on the patient’s health needs and the PHI held by their healthcare providers.
Insurance and Billing Information: Information related to insurance coverage, claims, and billing.

These valuable data insights of PHI can be included in email communications to craft relevant, tailored content that resonates with the patient or customer, but only of you’re email is HIPAA compliant.

For example, a healthcare provider might send an email about a new medication to a patient who has been recently diagnosed with a specific condition. Similarly, an insurance provider could send a tailored wellness program and preventative care tips based on the patient’s health data.

Benefits of Using PHI for Personalized Patient Engagement

When used effectively, and, above all, securely, personalized communication based on the intelligent use of PHI can lead to numerous benefits for healthcare providers, payers, and suppliers, which include, but aren’t limited to:

Improved Engagement: patients and customers are more likely to open and engage with email communications that are relevant to their health needs and concerns. Personalized email messaging that uses PHI, including treatment suggestions, appointment reminders, or wellness tips, increases the likelihood of the recipient engaging with the message.
Timely and Relevant Information: Sending timely messages, like reminders for health screenings, prescription refills, or post-operative care, keeps patients engaged with their care plan, ensures better adherence to prescribed medical advice, and takes a more active role in their overall healthcare journey. This is particularly important for chronic disease management, where proactive communication can help prevent complications and reduce hospital readmissions.
Better Relationships with Payers and Suppliers: healthcare payers and suppliers can also leverage PHI for personalized communications. For example, insurers can send targeted messages about new health plan options, plan renewals, claims processes, or wellness programs tailored to the patient’s health needs. Suppliers, meanwhile, can use data to communicate directly with patients about new product offerings, adherence tools, or therapies based on their present state of health. This personalized engagement can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Stronger Brand Loyalty: all combined, consistently engaging with patients and customers about topics related to their health needs and concerns – subjects, in some cases, they may not be discussing with anyone else – helps them develop trust in their healthcare providers. This, subsequently, makes them more receptive to future email communications, resulting in better adherence to treatment plans, better healthcare outcomes, and higher levels of satisfaction with their healthcare provision.

Ensuring HIPAA-Compliant Data-Driven Care

Before any PHI is included in email communications, healthcare organizations must follow proper security protocols to ensure HIPAA compliance. Here are some of the most fundamental ways to ensure HIPAA compliance when implementing data-driven care practices.

1. Patient Consent

First and foremost, healthcare organizations must obtain explicit consent from patients before sending their PHI via email. HIPAA compliant email marketing requires that all recipients opt-in before receiving emails. Patients should be informed about the types of communications they will receive and should have the option to opt in or opt out of receiving different types of communications containing PHI.

2. Encryption

Encrypting email communications is essential to protecting PHI. Email encryption ensures that the message is unreadable to a malicious actor if it’s intercepted during transmission. Any email that contains PHI must be encrypted end-to-end, i.e., in transit and at rest, which includes both the message content and any attachments. It’s also important that the email service being used is fully HIPAA-compliant, meaning it must have the technical safeguards required under its stringent regulations.

3. Secure Email Solutions

HIPAA compliant email platforms, such as LuxSci, offer built-in, automated encryption, authentication, and access controls to safeguard patient data. These solutions ensure that PHI is only accessible to authorized individuals and that the integrity and privacy of the data are maintained.

4. Access Control and Authentication

To protect PHI, email systems must be configured with strict access control measures. This includes setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) for accessing email accounts or documents that contain sensitive data. MFA adds an additional layer of security, ensuring that even if a password is compromised, the account cannot be accessed without additional verification methods, e.g., a security access token, or biometric scan.

5. Data Minimization

When sending PHI via email, it’s important to limit the amount of information shared to what is necessary for the communication. For instance, while treatment instructions may be relevant, healthcare organizations must avoid sharing overly detailed medical histories or unnecessary personal identifiers when it’s outside the scope of the communication, or the topic being discussed.

By the same token, data minimization must also apply to access control privileges, ensuring that those who handle PHI only have access to the patient data they require for their job role.
