Healthcare privacy readiness

This private site is for sample-data setup. It has not been verified as HIPAA compliant and must not be used for real patient information yet.

Contact details connected to pharmacy or healthcare services can be sensitive even when no medication names are included. Do not enter real patient names, addresses, prescriptions, dates of birth, government IDs or clinical records during setup.

Technical safeguards currently implemented

Launch requirements still unverified

  1. Confirm whether the business is a covered entity or business associate for each pharmacy relationship.
  2. Confirm that hosting, storage, authentication, backups, logs and notification services are eligible for the intended patient-data use. Execute applicable Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) covering those services.
  3. Complete a security risk analysis and documented administrative, physical and technical safeguards, including staff access, authentication, session controls and audit review.
  4. Approve privacy practices, workforce training, incident and breach response, retention/deletion and tested recovery procedures.
  5. Validate the complete patient workflow in the approved environment before real patient intake.

A private URL, encryption feature or website badge does not establish HIPAA compliance. The current account’s BAA and product eligibility have not been verified. The same marketing website address can be retained while patient workflows are connected to an approved backend or portal if needed.
