PanAtlantic Exploration implements Secure HSE Portal with full compliance reporting
Solution from Media Sourcery also provides automatic notification, group-specific access
HOUSTON, TX — (July 10, 2012) – PanAtlantic Exploration Company has implemented a secure portal to deliver health, safety and environment training and documentation. This solution is based on Media Sourcery, Inc.’s Secure Distribution solution, which provides full compliance reporting, group specific access and notification to portal users when new documents that they have access to are made available.
The HSE portal, to be used initially in support of the PanAtlantic Group’s Brazil operations on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary Vanco Brasil Exploração e Produção de Petróleo e Gas Natural Ltda, was implemented in a few weeks on Media Sourcery’s platform. The usage can be easily expanded to other projects and other processes.
“We are able to quickly and confidently distribute information, forms and documents to contract workers and employees,” said Meridith Wilson, HSE Manager at PanAtlantic Exploration. “The ease of reporting allows us to meet multiple requests for compliance audits, regardless of country or organization.”
“This solution has also been used with our Healthcare customers to quickly build secure patient and physician portals,” said Larry Ketchersid, CEO of Media Sourcery. “The ease of use and full compliance reporting make for a low time-to-implement, so ROI starts almost immediately.”
The solution also allows for both document distribution and form data collection, in multiple languages if required. As with all Media Sourcery solutions, multiple layers of security can be applied as appropriate for the process.

Media Sourcery Awarded Non-Repudiation Patent
Patent covers the non-repudiation of sender, receiver and information between two entities
HOUSTON, TX – (February 3, 2012) – Media Sourcery, Inc. (MSI) announced today the issuance to MSI by the US Patent Office of a patent that covers the certainty of identification of a sender and receiver in a secured transaction.
The patent for invention number 8,082,446 is for the non-repudiation of the identified sender and receiver, non-repudiation of the information sent and information received, the time that various portions of the transaction occurred and other associated parameters of a designated parcel of digital information.
“This patent makes claims in connection with our technology that provides assurances of sender, receiver and contained information during a secure digital transaction,” said Larry Ketchersid, CEO of Media Sourcery. “These technologies are critical for our customers in Energy, Government, Education and particularly Healthcare who are utilizing them to secure protected health information (PHI) in the most effective manner possible.”
The patent covers the technology used in Media Sourcery’s portfolio of secure delivery products and solutions, including those available on mobile devices (iOS, Android, others), Windows and Linux platforms. The products include Secure Replicator, AppMobilizer and Media Sourcery’s Referral Processor.
“Our customers have called our solution ‘security without the pain’, due to our ability to make the complexities of public key infrastructure appear easy,” said Ketchersid. “The technologies in this patent do the same for non-repudiation, making what is traditionally complex simple for users and implementers.”
The solution also allows for the ability of the sender to prove receipt by the receiver of the correct data without the cooperation of the receiver, if required. Embodiments of the patent disclosure can be readily implemented in conjunction with a public key infrastructure to advantageously provide complete non-repudiation of origin and delivery of digital data.

Odyssey Healthcare ranked #78 in Information Week 500
Odyssey was the number #1 Healthcare company in the Dallas area on the list, and the #3 company with revenues under $1.5 billion on the list.
The photo at the right shows the Odyssey Healthcare IT Team (Matthew, Bob, VP of IT James “Zeke” Zoccoli, Brent and Paul) receiving the award.
In the article entitled “InformationWeek 500: Healthcare Innovators”, the photo shows AppMobilizer on the smartphone and on the screen behind. Odyssey has been using AppMobilizer to take confidential patient health information (PHI) that was captured on paper forms and rapidly accelerate the time from visit-to-bill by entering into smartPhones and desktop browsers using AppMobilizer and automatically loading the data into their billing system and data warehouse reporting system. The solution provides layers of security (including audit trail) in a non-intimidating fashion, and is used by Nurses, Hospice Aides, Office Managers and other mobile healthcare workers.
Congratulations to our friends and partners at Odyssey Healthcare.
March 30, 2010 — RIM has released a case study on Odyssey Healthcare’s implementation of Media Sourcery’s AppMobilizer. Titled “BlackBerry Solution Helps Hospice Provider Gather Patient Information at Point of Care“, the case study can be found on RIM’s web site, or downloaded via the form at the end of this post.
From the case study:
Challenge
Odyssey HealthCare needed a way to electronically capture patient visit information to meet Federal reporting regulations and also cut down on the amount of paperwork the company was processing every day. Solution
Media Sourcery used their AppMobilizer solution on the BlackBerry smartphone to capture clinical information at the point of care. Home caregivers used BlackBerry smartphones with an electronic Home Health Aide Visit Form and Symptom Assessment Survey to enter patient care information; that data is then transferred to a back end database for reporting and billing purposes. After an automatic check for data accuracy, the visit records are automatically entered into Odyssey’s McKesson Horizon system for billing. Odyssey’s Results
• Gather patient information at point of care
• Less Paper, reduced administration, faster billing
• Improved working conditions for staff
• Company is better positioned to meet new requirements

Eating our own secure dog food
Media Sourcery CEO Larry Ketchersid writes on Infosec Island how the company uses its own products in working with its partners and customers:
Similar to security assessments, network architecture designs and other projects, a development project, such as this one involves the exchange of confidential data, including in this case, intellectual property designs, requirements documents, test plans, code fragments and roadmaps.
We could have chose to exchange these documents over email, or printed them out and sent them next day parcel post.
Instead, we “ate our own dogfood” and utilized IslandPKI. This gave us and our partners several advantages and efficiencies:
the timeliness of email, with notification of new content; (the notifications aided our workflow allowing the requirements, design and development process to proceed apace)
encrypted content; (no loss of IP, protected by our built-in PKI system);
digital signing; (for non-repudiation);
tracking;
confirmation of receipt;
little to no training for our partners; (so the bringing new members to the team did not impede the process).

HIPAA enforcement strengthened by HHS
Healthcare IT News is reporting that the US Department of Health and Human Services has issued an interim final rule to strengthen enforcement and increase penalties for violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, known as HIPAA.
From the article:
Prior to the HITECH Act, the penalty could be no more than $100 for each violation or $25,000 for all identical violations of the same provision.
A healthcare provider, health plan or clearinghouse could also bar the secretary’s imposition of a civil money penalty by demonstrating that it did not know that it violated the HIPAA rules.
Section 13410(d) of the HITECH Act strengthened the enforcement by establishing tiered ranges of increasing minimum penalty amounts, with a maximum penalty of $1.5 million for all violations of an identical provision. A covered entity can no longer bar the imposition of a civil money penalty for an unknown violation unless it corrects the violation within 30 days of discovery.
