Red face Using AOL or Outlook express is not HIPAA Safe.

Did you know that using AOL and/or Outlook is not HIPAA compliant? The main thing is the incryption or lack of it that makes those two mail clients not the best choice for transmitting confidential information.

You need at least 128 bit incryption and going 256 bit is even better. Talk to your IT manager and find out about encrypting your data before it is transmitted over the cable or air (wireless).
