Rx Safes, Inc. announced the availability of its portable electronic health record (EHR) device called the Rx SafeEHR(TM). The Rx SafeEHR(TM) is a HIPAA compliant, fingerprint-secured portable storage device that allows healthcare providers the ability to securely store and exchange patient health records with other medical professionals at the authority of the patient. The Rx SafeEHR(TM) addresses the growing concern over unauthorized access to digital health records.

It allows for the secure storage and transmission of sensitive patient information between healthcare systems, providers and patients. With a variety of storage sizes available, all types of patient data including high resolution patient scans and X-rays can be downloaded onto the Rx SafeEHR(TM) device and transported by the patient for review and assessment by their physicians. With biometric security, the Rx SafeEHR(TM) allows patients with multiple healthcare providers the ability to maintain accurate health records and share these records securely between providers.

The information on the device can only be retrieved by the patient or persons authorized by the patient, via the company's biometric authentication platform and then downloaded directly to another healthcare professional's computer. The requirement of a patient's fingerprint assures both the patient and the physician that there is proper authorization to access the health record, and this complies with the mandates of the Health Information Privacy and Portability Act (HIPPA).
