I just found this article concerning Tigertext, and thought I would add it here.
http://healthitsecurity.com/2012/10/26/handling-healthcare-sms-security-betwe...
What I found interesting is 'TigerText, a short message service (SMS) security company, announced yesterday that more than 250 healthcare facilities around the country are using its HIPAA-compliant messaging platform for their secure communications. Considering the company’s healthcare mobile security experience, it can speak to the struggles that CIOs or CISOs can face in maintaining a secure, HIPAA-compliant mobile platform.'
The fact that they got 250 healthcare facilities using thier app/service speaks to the fact that they are a valid service, and it also speaks volumes about how concerned healthcare is about HIPAA and doctors sending text messages.
