Cloud-based file-sharing services like Dropbox have
become popular, but organizations with sensitive data say they're
reluctant
to turn it over to cloud services. Instead, they're buying
file-sharing products they manage on their own for bulk file transfers
among business partners.
They're setting up their own large-file transfer services using products from Biscom and Accellion, among others, to allow password-protected access to upload or download large amounts of data. Among the advantages to these products, according to enterprise IT managers using them, is they can be integrated with Active Directory or LDAP for role-based end-user authentication privileges.
Rodney Cook, information technology manager for Denver-based CACHIE Support Services, the separate tech services arm for the Colorado Community Managed Care Network (CCMCN), says his job is to provide help to outside healthcare providers in setting up electronic patient records that qualify under federal Medicare/Medicaid rules.
CACHIE provides a fairly new type of electronic file storage and management service that's now being funded in every state as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, Cook says. "Every state has at least one," he adds, saying CACHIE is funded in Colorado to encourage the rollout of electronic health records and provide data storage for organizations that don't want to do this on their own.
