New Email Tracking Features Deliver More Accurate Engagement Insights

LuxSci Email Tracking Features

Today, we’re excited to announce two new reporting features designed to help healthcare organizations improve reporting accuracy and the overall effectiveness of their email campaigns. The new features offer deeper insights into Apple Mail and Google email performance by distinguishing between opens and clicks performed by human actions and automated events — and by giving users control over how these events are reflected in LuxSci email campaign reporting.

Let’s dive into what these features are and how they can help you get more precise data from your healthcare email marketing and communications efforts.

Feature 1: Enhanced Open and Click Tracking – Human vs. Automated

One of the biggest challenges in email tracking today is the rise of automated systems that pre-load images and scan links in emails. Automated systems can trigger open or click events without the recipient actually interacting with the email, leading to inflated and misleading open/click rates.

With LuxSci’s new enhanced open and click tracking, you can now tell whether Apple Mail and Google emails (Gmail and Google Workspace) were opened or a link was clicked by a human or by an automated system. This crucial distinction allows you to have a much clearer picture of actual user engagement.

Here’s how it works:

  • When emails are sent with open tracking enabled, a small tracking image (also known as a pixel) is embedded in the email. When that image is loaded, the system tracks the email as “opened.”
  • Similarly, links in the email are encoded to track clicks. If a recipient clicks a link, it triggers a “clicked” event, but these events can also be triggered by automated systems.
  • LuxSci’s enhanced open and click tracking feature analyzes these events and reports whether the actions were performed by a human or an automated system, helping you sift through false positives.

Feature 2: Suppressing Automated Events in Your Reporting

In addition to tracking the source of open and click events, LuxSci’s second new feature gives you the option to exclude automated events from Apple Mail and Google email from your email engagement statistics altogether. This setting, available in account-wide outbound email settings, is a powerful tool for ensuring the accuracy of your reports and understanding true user engagement.

Here’s how it works:

  • Automated opens and clicks can be removed from email reporting for better accuracy. For example, if a security bot clicks a link, that event will be logged, but it won’t mark the email as “clicked” in your statistics.
  • Your open, click, and click-through rates can be set to only reflect real human actions, making these metrics much more reliable for evaluating campaign performance and actual patient engagement.

Why These Features Matter for Healthcare Email Marketing

For healthcare organizations, reliable metrics are essential. Emails often carry critical information related to patient care, transactions, or marketing, and understanding who is engaging with your content is critical to ongoing improvement and long-term success. At the same time, automated actions can inflate your open and click rates, leading to inaccurate conclusions about your email performance.

LuxSci’s new features give you the power to:

  • Track email engagement with precision: Know the difference between human engagement and automated actions, so your metrics reflect reality.
  • Customize your reporting: Decide whether you want to include or suppress automated events in your reports.
  • Improve deliverability strategies: By analyzing which emails are genuinely opened or clicked by real people, you can fine-tune your email campaigns to maximize their effectiveness.

Business Associate Agreement

Understanding Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) and Shared Responsibility

Modern-day healthcare organizations rely on a growing array of partners and vendors to provide them with the tools they need to effectively serve patients and customers. 

 

However, while new digital solutions and healthcare ecosystems often result in greater productivity and efficiency, they also increase the number of third parties a company must communicate with and share protected health information (PHI), requiring a business associate agreement (BAA). Unfortunately, this increases the risk of PHI being exposed, as it increases a healthcare organization’s supply chain network and the number of external organizations with access to their data, significantly raising the risk of a security breach. 

 

This is where the concept of shared responsibility comes in. 

 

In this article, we explore the shared responsibility model for data security, explaining the concept, the role of a BAA in shared responsibility, and why healthcare companies need to know how it works and where it factors into their HIPAA compliance efforts. 

What Is The Shared Responsibility Model? 

Shared responsibility is a core data security principle that divides the responsibility for protecting data between a company that collects the data and a vendor that supplies the infrastructure or systems used to process said data.

 

The shared responsibility model grew in prominence as more companies moved to cloud-based environments and applications. In the past, when companies kept their systems and data onsite, they had more control over who could access their data and, subsequently, a better ability to mitigate data security risks.

 

However, in adopting cloud-based infrastructure and applications, companies have to process and store their data in the cloud – often in shared infrastructure with other vendors using the same cloud – which consequently shifts some of the responsibility of information security to the cloud service provider (CSP) itself. This marked a profound shift in the way data was handled, transmitted, and stored – necessitating an evolved approach to data security. 

 

This fundamental shift in the way companies consume infrastructure and use apps ushered in the shared responsibility model: Where the cloud vendor provides the infrastructure or application, including HIPAA compliant and high secure environments, but it’s still the responsibility of the client to configure and use it securely. 

Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) and Shared Responsibility

By detailing the respective responsibilities of healthcare companies or Covered Entities (CEs) and their vendors or Business Associates (BAs) in securing PHI, a Business Associate Agreement is a prime example of shared responsibility. 

 

For example, the Business Associate shoulders the responsibility of providing the data safeguards required by HIPAA to secure patient data, such as infrastructure, encryption, audit logging, and even physical onsite security.

 

The Covered Entity, meanwhile, is responsible for conducting risk assessments, defining access control policies and processes, configuring services accordingly, workforce training, and continuous monitoring.

Additionally, both parties have the obligation to report security incidents to each other, as well as being independently accountable to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Why Shared Responsibility Is Essential for HIPAA Compliance

For healthcare companies, having a firm grasp of the shared responsibility model for safeguarding and securing PHI, and how they fit within your overall security posture is essential (for two key reasons).  

Security Gaps

Firstly, clearly understanding the shared responsibility decreases the likelihood of security gaps. If CEs are under the impression that the vendor handles all aspects of data security, they won’t be as vigilant. They’ll be less inclined to configure services, educate their staff accordingly, pay appropriate attention to vendor security alerts, etc. 

 

But the same is also true for BAs: If they assume their client does most of the heavy lifting in securing the data disclosed to them, they could be remiss in their duties to protect it. Without shared responsibility, each side simply assumes the other is covering a safeguard, opening the door for security gaps that malicious actors can exploit.

 

Fortunately, by detailing both parties’ (CEs and BAs) responsibilities and liabilities regarding data protection, a BAA removes this ambiguity and, more importantly, reduces the risk of security gaps. It’s critical to know the details and work with vendors building products for compliance versus implementing a tick-box approach to compliance that places too much burden on the CE.

Covered Entities (CEs) Are Ultimately Accountable

Subsequently, the second reason why it’s essential for CEs to understand the shared responsibility model, and increase their cybersecurity readiness accordingly, is that it’s the CE that’s ultimately held accountable for data breaches. 

 

Mistakenly thinking that a BAA automatically makes them compliant may result in healthcare companies underinvesting in training, monitoring, and incident response. Conversely, understanding that even with a BAA in place, they’re the ones primarily accountable for protecting PHI gives them a greater sense of urgency to properly implement HIPAA compliant security measures. 

The Covered Entity’s Role Within Shared Responsibility

Let’s look at the ways that healthcare companies have to hold up their end in the shared responsibility model. 

Choose Compliance-Conscious Vendors 

First and foremost, companies have to choose the right vendors to supply them with HIPAA compliant services and solutions.

 

Look for companies that market themselves as HIPAA compliant and display a detailed understanding of HIPAA requirements, particularly the HIPAA Security Rule. Do your due diligence and perform deeper dives on potential vendors, researching their stated security features, reviews from existing clients, whether they have certifications like HITRUST – and if they’ve been involved in any data breaches. 

 

Naturally, a core prerequisite of being a HIPAA compliant vendor is being willing to sign a BAA, so you can immediately rule out any vendors not willing to do so. For instance, some healthcare companies may assume they can use widely adopted solutions such as SendGrid, Mailchimp, but they don’t offer a BAA. 

 

Once you’ve confirmed a vendor offers a BAA, look through it to establish its terms and determine if it covers the services you’re interested in. 

Configuration 

Another core component of shared responsibility is comprehensive configuration management. While the BA’s responsibility is to provide a secure solution that satisfies HIPAA requirements, it’s the CE’s responsibility to configure it securely to fit within their IT ecosystem. 

Features that often require configuration include: 

 

  • Access control: Role-based access, Zero Trust, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
  • Encryption settings: Enabling encryption, choosing encryption type, enforcing forced TLS, enabling storage encryption.
  • Feature restrictions: Disabling default configurations that enable integration with non-compliant tools. 
  • Audit logging: Enabling audit logging and configuring log formats.
  • Retention settings: How long to retain audit logs and who is permitted to review them.

Finally, establishing a patch management strategy, i.e., when and how your organization applies software updates, is an important element of configuration.  While the vendor must release updates to fix security vulnerabilities discovered in their solutions, it’s up to healthcare companies to deploy the patches. 

Training

Regardless of how many security features a vendor bakes into their solutions, once deployed by a healthcare company, the tool is only as secure as the practices of their least security-conscious employee. Consequently, companies must train their staff on how to properly use a solution to process protected health information and sensitive data. The more an employee is required to handle PHI, the more thorough and frequent their training should be. 

 

Key aspects of comprehensive cybersecurity training include:

 

  • Common cyber threats: what the most prevalent cyber threats are and how to recognize them.
  • Incident response: how to report a suspected security incident, i.e., who to contact and when. 
  • Specific solution training: how to securely use systems that process PHI
  • Scope awareness: knowing which services within your organization’s IT ecosystem are HIPAA-compliant and which are not

Reporting 

Although both healthcare companies and BAs have notification obligations to the HHS in the event of a data breach involving PHI, it’s the CE that bears most of the investigative burden. 

 

Firstly, while a BA may report a security incident, it’s the CE’s responsibility to conduct a risk assessment to determine the probability of compromise of PHI, assess risk, and determine whether an official notification of a breach to HHS is necessary.

 

Secondly, BAs must notify the CE without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery. Although BAs often wait to complete internal investigations before notifying the CE, the CE’s 60-day clock starts upon the BA’s discovery, not upon the BA’s report. Therefore, BA delays can create compliance risks for the CE.

 

To prevent this, where possible, you can include stricter contractual reporting timelines in the BAAs. This constantly keeps your company in the loop, ensuring you have sufficient lead time to complete your own investigations and your HIPAA-regulated deadlines.

HIPAA Compliant Email

Signing a BAA Does Not Automatically Make You HIPAA Compliant

For healthcare organizations, choosing the right product and service vendors is essential for achieving HIPAA compliance. One of the key prerequisites of a HIPAA-compliant vendor is the willingness to sign a Business Associate’s Agreement (BAA): a legal agreement that outlines both parties’ responsibilities and liabilities in securing protected health information (PHI). 

However, despite what some healthcare organizations have been led to believe, simply signing a BAA with a vendor doesn’t guarantee your use of their product or service will be HIPAA-compliant. In reality, a BAA is just the beginning, and there are several subsequent actions both healthcare organizations and their supply chain partners must take to ensure the compliant use of PHI, especially over communications channels like email. 

With this in mind, this post explores some of the reasons why signing a BAA on its own doesn’t ensure the security of PHI and protect your organization from HIPAA violations.

Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) Explained 

As touched upon above, a BAA is a legally-binding document established between a covered entity (CE), i.e., healthcare organizations, and a business associate (BA), i.e, any company that handles PHI in providing a CE with products or services. For a BA to handle patient or customer data on behalf of a CE, following HIPAA regulations, there must be a BAA in place. 

A BAA details:

  • Each party’s roles, responsibilities, and liabilities in securing PHI.
  • The permitted uses of PHI by the BA and, conversely, restrictions on any other use.
  • The BA’s responsibilities in implementing appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures to best protect PHI.
  • The BA’s obligations to report any unauthorized use, disclosure, or breach of PHI.
  • That the BA is required to assist with patient rights support, i.e., data access, amendments, and accounting of disclosures, when appropriate.
  • The BA’s obligations in making records available for audits or investigations.  
  • The CE’s right to terminate the contract if the BA fails to fulfil their obligations in safeguarding PHI.

Additionally, if a BA employs a third-party company, i.e., a subcontractor, that will have access to a CE’s PHI, they are required to establish a BAA with that company. This then makes the subcontractor a “downstream BA” of the CE, and subject to the same obligations and restrictions placed on the original BA. This ensures the security protections mandated by HIPAA flow down the entire chain of custody for sensitive patient and customer data.

Compliance Considerations After Signing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

Now that we’ve covered what a BAA is and the role it plays in ensuring data privacy, let’s move on to exploring some of the key things you have to do following the singing of a BAA to ensure HIPAA compliance.  

1. Both Parties Must Implement HIPAA-Required Data Risk Mitigation Measures 

    First and foremost, while a BAA details each party’s respective responsibilities in implementing measures to protect PHI, both still actually need to implement those required security features to achieve HIPAA compliance. 

    The measures required under HIPAA’s Security Rule, including encryption and access control, are designed to mitigate and minimize the impact of data breaches. So, if a company suffers a security breach and later audits show the required security policies and controls were not in place, they would be subject to the consequences of HIPAA violations, including fines and reputation damage.   

    Also, while a BAA stipulates that the BA is responsible for implementing the HIPAA-required safeguards for the PHI under their care, it doesn’t specify exactly which security measures they must implement. Subsequently, that’s left to the BA to interpret based on their understanding of HIPAA requirements, and how they conduct their required risk assessments.

    For example, if you have a BAA with your email services provider, that alone may not be enough to keep your company or organization HIPAA compliant. That’s because the provider may not have the security measures your organization needs, and instead have a carefully worded BAA that will leave you vulnerable.

    Let’s say your email marketing service provider is a “semi-HIPAA compliant” provider. In these cases, they may not offer email encryption, or the necessary access control measures your organization needs to send PHI and other sensitive information safely. The so-called HIPAA compliance may be limited only to data stored at rest on their servers only.

    In short, although a BAA outlines each party’s commitment to securing data, both parties still have to follow through on implementing risk mitigation measures. Additionally, though a healthcare company has its BA’s assurances that they’ll have the appropriate safeguards in place, CEs often only have limited visibility into its ongoing security posture. As a result, asking the right questions and working with a proven HIPAA compliant provider are critical steps healthcare organizations must take to ensure full compliance.

    2. CEs Must Stick to “In-Scope” Services

      While a BA may provide a CE with a range of services, many limit the coverage of their BAAs to particular “in-scope” services. As a result, if a healthcare organization were to use a service outside the coverage of the BAA, i.e., an “out-of-scope” service, they’d risk exposing patient data and incurring HIPAA violations.

      And, even when a service is in-scope, the BA is still required to configure it properly for it to be compliant. These configurations could include:

      • Enabling encryption
      • Establishing access control
      • Activating multi-factor authentication (MFA)
      • Turning on audit logging 

      With this in mind, it’s crucial to ensure that the “complete” service or tool – not just a part of it – is covered by a BAA before using it to process PHI. Similarly, check the terms of your BAA for configuration or security best practices that offer guidance on fully HIPAA compliant use, and make sure your responsibilities as a CE are 100% clear.

      3. Staff Must Be Trained to Securely Handle PHI 

        Another key reason that signing a BAA doesn’t automatically result in HIPAA compliance is the likely need for both parties to educate their staff on how to securely handle sensitive data, such as PHI.

        Firstly, as discussed above, only some of the services offered by a BA may be covered by its agreement. Subsequently, a healthcare organization’s employees need to be sufficiently trained on the use and disclosure of PHI, namely, the services in which they’re permitted to process PHI and which, in contrast, services are non-compliant.

        By the same token, as well as implementing the stipulated safeguards, BAs are responsible for training their workforce on how to use and, where appropriate, configure them. This will help ensure the limited, correct use and disclosure of PHI as allowed by the BAA. 

        4. Reporting Requirements

          A BAA stipulates that a BA must notify the CE in the event of improper or unauthorized use of PHI. More specifically, this includes: 

          • Reporting immediately any use or disclosure not permitted by the terms of the BAA.
          • Notifying the CE of security incidents resulting in the potential exposure of  PHI.

          However, the commitment to reporting in the BAA and the ability to deliver on that commitment are two different things entirely. Firstly, the BA must implement the policies and infrastructure that allow for timely incident reporting. This includes conducting risk analysis, implemeting continuous monitoring, and developing a robust incident response plan. 

          Additionally, a key aspect of prompt, comprehensive reporting includes the BA ensuring that their staff are sufficiently trained to detect and report security events. As part of their training on the secure handling of PHI, a BA’s employees must be able to recognize common security issues and threats, such as improper email configurations and phishing attempts, and how to report them.

          5. Subcontractor BAAs

            While CEs must sign BAAs with their BAs for the compliant use and disclosure of PHI, they don’t have to sign such agreements with any subcontractors the BA may employ. Instead, it’s the responsibility of the BA to enter into their own business associate agreements with their subcontractors. As a result, the original security obligations are passed all the way down the data’s chain of custody. 

            While a CE can take certain measures to enforce this, such as requesting proof of subcontractor BAAs – or even the ability to review subcontractors before beginning engagement – ultimately, they have little control over their security postures. Ultimately, this means that they have to trust that the original service BA does their due diligence in selecting security-minded subcontractors, with the right PHI safeguards in place.

            How Hypersegmentation Drives Greater Healthcare Marketing Engagement

            In healthcare marketing, effective engagement is crucial. It’s imperative that healthcare providers, payers, and suppliers know how to connect with their patients and customers, keeping them aware of all aspects of their healthcare journey – and empowering them to participate as much as possible. 

            This is where segmentation comes in. 

            Instead of sending out healthcare marketing email communications that appeal to as many people as possible, segmentation enables healthcare companies to appeal to specific individuals or groups. It opens the doors for scenarios in which patients and customers see a message in their inbox and think, ‘this message is for me’. 

            With that goal in mind, this post explores use cases and best practices in segmentation, why it’s so important for healthcare companies, and different ways that marketers can segment their audiences for optimal patient and customer engagement.

            What is Segmentation?

            Segmentation is the process of dividing your contact list, or audience, into smaller groups based on shared data, including protected health information (ePHI) characteristics. This could include demographics (age, gender, geographic location, etc.), medical conditions, risk factors, behaviors, and so on. 

            Why Segmentation is Essential in Healthcare Email Marketing

            For healthcare organizations, segmentation is a highly effective, and essential, strategy for sending patients and customers personalized email messaging. Personalized emails are more relevant to the recipient, which greatly increases the chance of them capturing their attention and subsequent engagement. 

            This allows healthcare companies to successfully achieve the objective of their email campaigns, whether that’s reducing the number of appointment no-shows, increasing adherence to care plans, securing payments, or boosting sign-ups or sales. More importantly, patients and customers are more involved in their healthcare journey, staying on top of upcoming appointments, receiving applicable advice and recommendations, and becoming aware of products and services that may prove beneficial to their health, improving overall outcomes. 

            Additionally, dividing audiences into distinct groups gives healthcare organizations invaluable insights into the behaviour and needs of different segments at different stages of the healthcare journey. 

            For instance, an email campaign targeting a particular segment may reveal that they’re more likely to miss appointments than other groups. Similarly, segmentation may highlight that a certain high-risk group neglects to book recommended health screenings. Such insights enable healthcare providers, payers, and suppliers to improve their email engagement strategies, to drive more desirable outcomes and, ultimately more satisfied, loyal, and, above all, healthier patients and customers. 

            How Can Segmentation Aid HIPAA Compliance?

            Another considerable benefit of segmentation for healthcare organizations is that it supports their HIPAA compliance efforts. Because segmentation necessitates setting precise rules that control which individuals receive particular emails, it greatly mitigates the risk of accidentally sending sensitive patient data to the wrong person. 

            Let’s say, for instance, that you want to conduct an email campaign targeting expectant mothers. By creating a segment comprised of pregnant patients or customers using the appropriate data field, you ensure that sensitive, pregnancy-related information is only sent to relevant parties. By reducing the likelihood of disclosing PHI to the wrong individuals, segmentation not only helps maintain regulatory compliance, but also preserves patient trust and confidence in your organization.

            Different Ways to Segment Your Audience 

            Demographic Segmentation

            This involves grouping individuals by shared demographic attributes such as:

            • Age
            • Gender
            • Location
            • Ethnicity
            • Education Level
            • Employment Status
            • Marital Status
            • Family Status
            • Socioeconomic Status (Income)
            • Spoken Languages / Preferred Language
            • Income
            • Insurance Coverage Type
            • Religious or Cultural Affiliations

            Demographic information is a very powerful way to segment audiences to send them valuable, highly relevant information, for example:

            • Sending mammogram or prostate screening recommendations to women or men over a certain age. 
            • Sending health alerts to people in a certain region or ZIP code in response to the emergence of a disease in their area (e.g., flu, a new COVID strain). 
            • Making educational material easy to understand and informative. 

            Clinical Segmentation

            Here, individuals are grouped according to medical criteria, such as:

            • Health conditions
            • Prescribed medications
            • Treatment plans
            • Recent surgeries or medical procedures 
            • Recent lab test results
            • Hospitalization history
            • Vaccination status

            This enables healthcare organizations to craft a wide range of specific communications that hone in on particular patients and customers, including:

            • Disease management and preventative care advice for people suffering from certain conditions, e.g, how diabetic patients can best monitor and manage their blood sugar.
            • Recovery guidance for post-operative patients. 
            • Feedback requests for individuals on particular treatment plans, in an effort to optimize them. 

            Healthcare Journey Stage Segmentation

            This divides individuals according to their position in their care journey within your organization. 

            For healthcare providers, new patients should receive onboarding materials, explanations of services and how to make the most of them, and similar materials that help them feel welcome and informed. Existing patients, meanwhile, can be further segmented into active, overdue (inactive), or high-risk groups – all of which have different needs and ways in which they should be communicated with: 

            • Active patients: appointment reminders, educational materials, event and service recommendations, satisfaction surveys, etc. 
            • Overdue and inactive patients: appointment or payment reminders, re-engagement communications, etc. 
            • At risk patients: more frequent communications, care coordination messages, or support service referrals

            Behavioral Segmentation

            This method of segmentation is based on how recipients interact with emails or services, including:

            • How often they open emails.
            • If they click through on links.
            • If they use patient portals.
            • If they complete forms.

            HIPAA Compliant Marketing Automation Tools

            What are the Infrastructure Requirements For HIPAA Compliant Email?

            Healthcare providers, payers, and suppliers increasingly rely on email communication for a wide variety of purposes pertaining to their patients’ and customer’s healthcare journeys. However, ensuring email messaging is both effective and HIPAA compliant requires the right infrastructure, including dedicated environments, high throughput and low latency, end-to-end encryption, scalability and compliance monitoring.

            The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act’s (HIPAA) regulations mandate a series of data security and privacy requirements to safeguard the electronic protected health information (ePHI) contained in emails, which is a good place to start. At the same time, however, healthcare organizations must also consider deliverability best practices to ensure their messages successfully reach the intended recipients. 

            With all this in mind, this post discusses the infrastructure requirements for HIPAA compliant email. We’ll explore the differences between transactional and marketing emails, as well as infrastructure and compliance considerations for each. 

            What Are Transactional Emails?

            Transactional emails are messages that correspond to a previous interaction between a healthcare organization and an individual. A patient or customer will trigger the delivery of a transactional email by taking a specific action – with the transaction email being confirmation of the action.  

            Examples of transactional emails include:

            • Explanation of Benefits
            • Billing statements
            • Invoices
            • Appointment confirmations and reminders
            • Order updates and shipping notifications
            • Password resets and security notifications
            • Plan renewal confirmation 
            • Payment failure notifications
            • In-home care communications

            Healthcare companies can also use transactional emails to communicate relevant instructions, next steps, or follow-up actions.

            What Are Marketing Emails?

            Marketing emails contain content designed to influence the recipient into taking a particular action, usch as ordering a new product or sign up for a new service. Subsequently, they often contain informational materials intended to educate the individual so they can make a more informed decision. 

            Examples of marketing emails include:

            • New product or service launches
            • Promotional offers
            • Loyalty reward notifications 
            • Customer reviews and testimonials 
            • Educational materials or campaigns 
            • Preventative care outreach
            • Event Invitations
            • Re-engagement messages (e.g., “We Miss You!..”)

            With the proper data safeguards and the effective use of ePHI, marketing emails can be personalized to be made more relevant to the recipient. This then allows patients or customers to be segmented into subgroups according to particular commonalities, e.g., age, gender, lifestyle factors, medical conditions, etc.

            Opt-in Rules for HIPAA-Compliant Email Communication 

            One significant difference between marketing and transactional emails is that recipients must explicitly opt-in to receive marketing emails. 

            HIPAA requires explicit patient consent for marketing emails if they contain ePHI, requiring individuals to opt-in to receive email marketing communications from a healthcare organization. Neglecting to allow people to opt-in to your marketing communications leaves your company open to the consequences of HIPAA non-compliance, which include financial penalties and reputational damage. 

            Conversely, healthcare organizations aren’t required to obtain opt-ins to send transactional emails, but these communications are still subject to other HIPAA regulations, such as encryption and audit logging. 

            Additionally, marketing emails must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act: US legislation that governs commercial email communication and protects individuals from deceptive sales and marketing practices. The CAN-SPAM Act requires healthcare organizations to provide an opt-out mechanism in the event they no longer wish to receive marketing emails. Subsequently, you must always allow individuals to opt out of marketing emails to stay compliant.

            Email Infrastructure Requirements For HIPPA-Compliance

            As the vast majority of healthcare organizations need to send marketing and transactional emails, they must have the appropriate infrastructure to facilitate the optimal delivery of both types of emails. Consequently, for HIPAA compliant email, they need to establish the appropriate infrastructure configurations for each, according to their differing purposes, sending patterns, and compliance considerations. 

            Let’s look at the infrastructure requirements for each email type in turn, before looking at considerations that pertain to both types of email.

            Key Transactional Email Infrastructure Considerations

            Transactional emails are sent to a sole patient or customer, with the information therein only intended for that specific individual. Additionally, they can be highly time-sensitive: for example, a password reset or similar emails related to logins and service use must be immediate, while order confirmations need to be delivered ASAP to reassure clients of a company’s reliability and trustworthiness. 

            Accounting for this, the infrastructure requirements for transactional emails include: 

            • High Speed and Low Latency: servers that are optimized  for high IOPS (input/output operations per second) and minimal processing delays to ensure near-instant delivery
            • Dedicated IPs: this helps healthcare companies maintain a strong sender reputation to avoid blacklisting, being labelled as spam, etc. This is crucial for reliable, fast delivery. 
            • High Availability and Redundancy: this includes load balancers, failover servers, and geographically distributed data centers to ensure comprehensive disaster recovery and more robust business continuity protocols.  

            Key Marketing Email Infrastructure Considerations

            In contrast to transactional messages, marketing emails must often be sent out in high volumes, which could be as many as hundreds of thousands or millions per month. As a result, marketing email campaigns have different computational demands, i.e., CPU and storage, than transactional messages intended for a single person. 

            Subsequently, the infrastructure requirements for marketing emails include: 

            • High Volume and Scalability: marketing messages require a larger throughput to facilitate the bulk delivery of email. Additionally, servers should scale easily to accommodate increasingly larger campaigns without suffering bottlenecks.
            • Queueing and Throttling: marketing email infrastructure must prevent sending surges that could trigger spam filters or overload recipient servers, which often results in blacklisting. 
            • Dedicated vs. Shared Infrastructure: it’s important to consider whether to opt for private versus shared infrastructure, depending on the size of your organization and the scale of your campaigns. Large senders often use dedicated IPs for better control, while smaller companies or campaigns might use shared pools with strict sender reputation management.

            Key Infrastructure Considerations for Both Types of Email

            Lastly, there are infrastructure requirements that apply to both types of email that will help facilitate their fast and reliable delivery, respectively. These include:     

            • Separate Infrastructure: consider hosting your transactional and marketing emails on separate servers. This benefits transactional emails in particular, as there are several factors inherent to marketing email campaigns, such as bounced emails and being flagged as spam, that affect an email IP’s reputation. Separate infrastructure maintains the integrity of a healthcare company’s IP address for transactional emails, ensuring they are delivered unimpeded. 
            • Encryption: the ePHI in all email communications must be encrypted in transit, i.e., when sent to individuals, and at rest, i.e., when stored in a database. This helps safeguard the patient data within the message, regardless of its nature. 
            • HIPAA Compliance Monitoring: remaining aware of what ePHI is included in email communications. This keeps data exposure to a minimum and mitigates the unintentional inclusion of patient data in email communications. 
            • Logging and Auditing: this not only allows you to track email activity, but you also can measure the efficacy of your email communications, who accessed ePHI, and what they did with it. This is an essential part of HIPAA compliance and will be subject to tighter regulation when the updates to HIPAA’s Security Rule come into effect in late 2025.

            HIPAA Secure Email

            What Is HIPAA Email Archiving?

            HIPAA email archiving is the systematic process of capturing, storing, and preserving electronic communications containing Protected Health Information (ePHI) in compliance with federal privacy and security regulations. Healthcare organizations use archiving systems to automatically collect email messages that contain patient data, maintain them in secure storage environments, and provide controlled access for authorized users. The archiving process ensures that patient communications remain available for clinical care, regulatory compliance, and legal discovery while protecting the confidentiality and integrity of health information throughout extended retention periods.

            Medical practices and healthcare systems rely on email archiving to meet documentation requirements while managing the growing volume of electronic communications. Strong archiving strategies help organizations balance operational efficiency with regulatory obligations and risk management needs.

            Why HIPAA Email Archiving is Required

            Healthcare organizations require HIPAA email archiving to meet federal documentation standards and state medical record preservation laws. The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes requirements for maintaining records related to patient information management, while state regulations often mandate specific retention periods for medical communications. Email messages containing treatment discussions, care coordination details, or patient scheduling, are all part of the medical record and must be preserved according to applicable legal timeframes.

            Risk mitigation drives archiving implementation as healthcare organizations face increasing litigation and regulatory scrutiny. Medical malpractice cases frequently involve examination of communication records between providers, patients, and care teams. Organizations without proper archiving systems may face discovery sanctions or inability to defend against claims when relevant communications cannot be retrieved. Email archiving provides defensible documentation that supports clinical decision-making and protects against liability exposure.

            Operational continuity benefits from archived communication access when healthcare providers need historical context for patient care decisions. Archived emails can reveal previous treatment discussions, specialist recommendations, or patient preferences that inform current care plans. Quick retrieval of communication history helps avoid duplicating previous conversations and ensures care teams have complete information when making treatment decisions.

            Audit preparedness is achievable through systematic email archiving that preserves communication documentation for regulatory reviews. The Office for Civil Rights and other oversight agencies may request access to communication records during HIPAA compliance investigations. Organizations with properly implemented archiving systems can respond quickly to audit requests and demonstrate their commitment to patient information protection.

            How Does HIPAA Email Archiving Differ From Standard Email Backup?

            Security controls within HIPAA email archiving systems exceed those found in standard backup solutions. Archiving platforms implement encryption for data at rest and in transit, role-based access controls that limit user permissions, and audit logging that tracks all system interactions. Standard email backups may lack these specialized security features needed to protect patient information according to HIPAA Security Rule requirements.

            Data organization in healthcare archiving systems focuses on patient-centric indexing and retrieval capabilities. The systems can organize archived communications by patient identifiers, treatment episodes, or healthcare provider relationships. Standard backup systems store emails chronologically or by user account without the specialized indexing needed for clinical or legal searches involving patient information.

            HIPAA email retention management features in HIPAA archiving platforms accommodate complex healthcare documentation requirements. The systems can apply different retention schedules based on message content, patient age, or state regulations while maintaining legal hold capabilities for litigation. Standard backup solutions lack the policy management tools needed to handle varied retention requirements across different types of healthcare communications.

            Search functionality in healthcare archiving systems includes patient privacy protections and access controls that prevent unauthorized information disclosure. Users can search for communications related to specific patients or clinical topics while the system maintains audit trails of all search activities. Standard backup search tools do not include the privacy controls and audit capabilities required for handling patient information.

            Components Supporting HIPAA Email Archiving Systems

            Capture mechanisms within archiving systems automatically identify and collect email communications containing patient information as they flow through healthcare email infrastructure. Journal-based capture methods create copies of all email messages at the server level, ensuring complete collection without relying on user actions. Content analysis tools can identify messages containing ePHI through keyword detection, pattern recognition, and sender/recipient analysis to ensure appropriate archiving coverage.

            Storage architecture for HIPAA email archiving incorporates multiple layers of data protection and redundancy. Primary storage systems maintain active archives with fast access capabilities for recent communications, while secondary storage tiers provide cost-effective long-term preservation for older messages. Geographic replication protects against data loss from natural disasters or facility damage while maintaining compliance with data residency requirements.

            Access control systems manage user permissions and authentication requirements for archived email access. Role-based permissions ensure that healthcare workers can only access communications relevant to their job functions and patient care responsibilities. Multi-factor authentication adds security layers that protect against unauthorized access attempts while maintaining usability for legitimate users.

            Audit and monitoring capabilities track all interactions with archived email communications to create compliance documentation. The systems log user access attempts, search queries, message exports, and administrative actions to provide complete audit trails. Automated reporting features help healthcare organizations monitor archiving system usage and identify potential security incidents or policy violations.

            How to Select HIPAA Email Archiving Solutions

            Compliance certification evaluation helps healthcare organizations identify archiving vendors that understand healthcare regulatory requirements. Vendors with HITRUST CSF certification, SOC 2 Type II reports, or similar security validations demonstrate their commitment to protecting healthcare information. Business Associate Agreement willingness and terms indicate vendor readiness to accept HIPAA compliance responsibilities for archived patient data.

            Scalability assessment ensures that archiving solutions can accommodate current email volumes and future growth projections. Healthcare organizations examine storage capacity, user licensing models, and system performance under peak usage conditions. The evaluation includes reviewing vendor infrastructure capabilities and support for geographic expansion or practice acquisitions that may increase archiving requirements.

            Integration requirements vary based on existing healthcare IT infrastructure and workflow needs. Archiving solutions need compatibility with current email platforms, electronic health record systems, and practice management applications. API availability and integration support affect how seamlessly archived communications can be accessed from within existing clinical workflows.

            Total cost analysis encompasses software licensing, implementation services, ongoing maintenance, and storage expenses over the expected system lifespan. Healthcare organizations compare subscription models, per-user pricing, and storage-based fees while considering long-term retention requirements. The analysis includes potential cost savings from reduced legal discovery expenses and improved compliance management efficiency.

            Implementation Challenges

            Historical data migration requires careful planning to transfer existing email communications into new archiving systems while maintaining data integrity and compliance protections. Healthcare organizations need strategies for handling legacy email formats, preserving original timestamps and metadata, and ensuring complete transfer of patient communications. The migration process must maintain security controls throughout the transition period.

            User training programs need development to help healthcare staff understand archiving system functionality and their responsibilities for communication compliance. Training covers proper email practices, archiving system search capabilities, and procedures for handling legal holds or audit requests. Change management support helps staff adapt to new workflows and archiving requirements without disrupting patient care operations.

            Performance optimization is highly important as archiving systems handle increasing volumes of healthcare communications. Email traffic in large healthcare systems can be substantial, requiring archiving platforms that maintain capture rates and search responsiveness under heavy loads. Organizations need monitoring tools and vendor support to optimize system configurations for their specific usage patterns.

            Policy development and enforcement require clear guidelines about archived communication access, retention schedules, and disposal procedures. Healthcare organizations need policies that address who can access archived communications, under what circumstances searches are permitted, and how to handle requests for patient communication records. Enforcement mechanisms ensure that archiving policies are followed consistently across the organization.

            How to Maximize Email Archiving Investment

            Workflow integration maximizes archiving value by making historical communications easily accessible within existing clinical applications. Healthcare organizations can implement single sign-on authentication and embed archiving search capabilities within electronic health record systems. Integration reduces the time healthcare workers spend switching between systems while maintaining security controls for patient information access.

            Advanced search capabilities help healthcare organizations extract maximum value from archived communications through sophisticated query tools and analytics. Machine learning features can identify communication patterns, flag potential compliance issues, or surface relevant historical context for current patient care decisions. Analytics capabilities provide insights into communication volumes, response times, and collaboration patterns that support quality improvement initiatives.

            Legal discovery preparation benefits from archiving systems that streamline the identification and production of relevant communications during litigation. Healthcare organizations can use search and filtering tools to quickly locate communications related to specific patients, time periods, or clinical events. Export capabilities and legal hold management reduce the time and cost associated with responding to discovery requests.

            Compliance monitoring automation helps healthcare organizations maintain ongoing oversight of their email archiving practices and identify potential issues before they become violations. Automated reports can track archiving coverage, identify gaps in communication capture, and monitor user access patterns for unusual activity. Proactive monitoring supports continuous improvement in archiving practices and compliance management

            Email Deliverability

            Why is High Email Deliverability Essential for Healthcare Companies?

            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.
