Caduceus Software Systems Corp. announced that it has updated its flagship product, Caduceus MMS v.1.0, in a way where it will have 4 sophisticated major security mechanisms built into the software. The company believes these new security enhancements will greatly boost its competitive advantage and subsequent sales potential. The software security system has been developed by Sygnit Corp., and it aims to keep patient data secure and data integrity strong. The software stores data into a special double-encrypted database, which encrypts the data and then locks it so that even if the data was taken offsite or copied onto another computer, it cannot be deciphered. This mechanism makes it virtually impossible for hackers to view any type of patient data entered into the computer system by staff. Secondly, the data that is encrypted complies with the doctor-patient confidentiality ethics. In addition, diagnoses, symptoms, prescriptions, and billing data are encrypted on a per patient basis, which prevents tampering or erroneous data injection into another patient's records. Not only is it secure, it is safer for the patient. Thirdly, and just as important as the first 2 security mechanisms, the software has role-based account management, which means that Clerks, Accounts, Practitioners, and Administrators can only manage and view the data that they are supposed to. This makes it so they do not breach any confidentiality or be able to view or print information that is not pertinent to their role in the organization. This reduces liability and increases professionalism. Lastly, Caduceus MMS data is locked in a way that other software on the computer cannot access or decipher or copy/paste the data without acknowledgement. This makes it safe for terminals to have an Internet connection without the need to worry about implications of hacking, phishing, or data injection/interception. The software is anti-virus and anti-adware friendly. Caduceus MMS has 4 major security advantages: it has an exclusive encryption system so that data can't be viewed outside of Caduceus; it completely honours the Hippocratic oath from a software perspective; customers can be confident its role-based security sets customers' minds at ease as they do not need to worry about staff seeing more information than they should.; the software is compatible with typical computer security software.
