VirtuLink VLS Forms

Virtulink's VLS Forms provide physician and medical practices with a secured (HIPAA compliant), easy to deploy and affordable means to capture patient requests without having to deploy a entire portal or HIPAA compliant web server.

While online / web forms are the staple of most web sites, most online forms are not secure with regard to HIPAA standards. Without a secured patient portal, most practices are technically (and legally) limited to downloadable PDF forms and contact / general information forms. The latter solution is particularly troublesome as patients voluntarily, and quite knowingly, use general contact forms for all sorts of non-secured requests.

LuxSci helps ensure HIPAA-Compliance for email and web services.

Simply encrypting a request via SSL is not enough especially if the sensitive request is transmitted to an unsecured email inbox. Using this form to email example, below is a snapshot of some of the technical requirements that need to be addressed:

Forced use of S/MIME certificates for all outbound email for encryption and digital signing
Forced use of TLS encrypted transmission for inbound and outbound email (requires a dedicated proxy server)
Forced use of TLS encrypted transmission for POP, IMAP, and SMTP connections from email clients (i.e. Outlook)
Forced authentication for POP, IMAP, and SMTP services
Detailed auditing of sent messages

As a subscriber of VLS Forms, your practice can comfortably and securely take requests from your website including:

Appointment Requests
Medication Refills
Online Bill Pay (*requires merchant gateway)
And any form you need

VLS Forms work in conjunction with your existing site and can be designed to match your site. You do not have to change hosting or invest in a dedicated hardware. All you need to do is place links to the forms on your site. Your forms will reside on our secured hosting and can be connected to secured special purpose email inboxes (default) and / or dumped directly into a database. We can design new forms for your practice or convert existing online forms.
