HIPAA COMPLIANCE
When You Don’t Need to Build a HIPAA Compliant Application?
What is HIPAA?
HIPAA is a set of guidelines that govern the proper and secure handling of patient healthcare information throughout the healthcare space. In the technology space, HIPAA ensures that there are no anomalies with handling and storage of patient data. Further, it includes information sharing, billing, and health insurance coverage for the citizens. PHI or Protected Health Information comprises every aspect of patient information. If this information is used, stored, maintained, or shared by any entity then it falls under this act.
If you choose to build a HIPAA compliant software application, it should run and operate per the PHI guidelines. Developing an application under these conditions is significantly more involved than a standard build. This is because PHI does not only comprise the current and past data about the patients, it also takes into account the future data collection from them. This includes spoken information, physical and electronic records.
Not only sharing of documents is under scrutiny. In the process of HIPAA compliant application development, information transmission is very essential to create a valuable platform.
