Security: Qliq’s Cloud Pass-Thru™ messaging architecture is substantially more secure than our competitors’“client/server” architecture because no Protected Health Information (PHI) is stored or decrypted on our servers. The client/server model of our competitors is less secure since it involves decrypting, re-encrypting, storing, and logging of all messages on a 3rd party server. Qliq is unique as it uses an individual public/private key encryption model and is more secure. Therefore it is virtually impossible for qliqSOFT or anyone else to access the server and decrypt the messages containing your PHI in transit or at rest. The peer-to-peer architecture ensures that all messages are encrypted/decrypted only on your mobile devices and computers where they are stored in an encrypted database. A database that cannot be decrypted even if someone were able to remove it from a user’s smartphone, tablet, or desktop. It is important to note that we have the highest level of encryption available (2048 bit RSA encryption for messages, and 256 bit AES bulk encryption for attachments)
Enterprise-Ready: We use SIP technology, which is the most widely-used and tested communication technology available. SIP is a proven, reliable, and secure form of communication that easily integrates with enterprise communication systems such as IP/PBX, nurse call systems, and telehealth systems. Furthermore, SIP supports some of the main modalities that allow for rapid deployment of new communication functionality, including screen sharing and teleconferencing. We have also incorporated an HL7 integration engine directly into our communication platform so that Qliq can be quickly interfaced via our qliqDIRECT integration engine to any existing PMS, EHR, Laboratory or other clinical systems.
Functionality: Qliq is designed exclusively for healthcare professionals.It includes the features required in a healthcare setting: customizable message notification and sound alerts, message delivery confirmation, manual message acknowledgment, custom lists of quick messages, the ability to send images/videos/files/voice messages, organization of users by groups/subgroups, inclusion of external users, centralized administration, remote lock and wipe, message archiving, EHR and directory integration, and much more.
High Availability: The Qliq mobile application is always on, whether in the foreground or the background. This allows for real-time, high-availability communication whenever and wherever the users desire. Our solution is inclusive of all health care professionals, their support staff, ancillary service providers, caregivers, and patients. Since a mobile number is not required to route messages, real-time communication can occur from a desktop, smartphone, or tablet.
Expertise: Backed by two decades of network security experience and knowledge, we designed Qliq to exceed the rigorous security standards required by the healthcare industry. We deliberately avoided using centralized storage of messages and Protected Health Information (PHI). We are mindful of the fact that the threat and impact of a potential breach are proportional to the amount of data stored. As such, we designed our system so that all PHI is 100% under your organization’s control and stored in a distributed manner on your devices. This works for both an organization-issued device and BYOD (bring your own device) environment.
