West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (WSFT) has chosen the secure communication solution Zivver to allow staff and patients to share sensitive healthcare information easily and securely. 
Zivver prevents possible data leaks within the healthcare organisation due to human errors - and Liam McLaughlin, chief information officer at WSFT said it was rolling out the service across the organisation,"making it as easy as possible for our clinical and support staff" to secure the data shared via email and file transfer.
"Crucially, Zivver provides advanced encryption technology and real time prevention of everyday human errors – such as accidentally sending information to the wrong person – via machine learning," he added. "Especially when dealing with sensitive health data, getting this wrong can be very serious, and Zivver helps us to achieve our data protection objectives with confidence.”
Zivver will be used by around 4,800 staff at WSFT, as well as by patients from a population of around 280,000 people who live in West Suffolk.
Wouter Klinkhamer, CEO at Zivver, said: “As an internationally recognised Global Digital Exemplar (an internationally recognised NHS provider), West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust uses best practice digital technologies to improve the quality of care and drive integration, creating a blueprint for other NHS Trusts to follow. We are delighted to welcome them on board as a new customer, marking another in a long line of healthcare providers to choose Zivver to ensure the health organisations and patient data is protected.”
