HealthIQ - AI-Powered Health Risk Detection & Guidance

HIPAA Compliant Healthcare Platform

HealthIntel is fully compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 and all subsequent amendments. We implement comprehensive safeguards to protect your Protected Health Information (PHI).

Overview

HIPAA is a federal law that establishes national standards to protect individuals' medical records and personal health information. As a healthcare technology platform that handles Protected Health Information (PHI), HealthIntel operates as a HIPAA Business Associate and maintains strict compliance with all HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules.

HIPAA Security Rule Compliance

We implement the three types of safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule:

Administrative Safeguards

Security Management Process: Risk analysis, risk management, sanction policy, and information system activity review
Workforce Security: Authorization and supervision procedures, workforce clearance, and termination procedures
Security Training: Mandatory HIPAA training for all employees handling PHI
Contingency Planning: Data backup, disaster recovery, and emergency mode operations
Business Associate Agreements: Signed BAAs with all third-party vendors

Physical Safeguards

Facility Access Controls: Secure data centers with 24/7 monitoring and restricted access
Workstation Security: Policies for proper workstation use and placement
Device & Media Controls: Secure disposal, encryption of portable devices, and media tracking

Technical Safeguards

Access Control: Unique user identification, emergency access procedures, automatic logoff, and encryption
Audit Controls: Comprehensive logging of all PHI access and modifications
Integrity Controls: Mechanisms to ensure PHI is not improperly altered or destroyed
Transmission Security: End-to-end encryption for all data in transit using TLS 1.3

HIPAA Privacy Rule Compliance

We adhere to the HIPAA Privacy Rule, which establishes standards for the use and disclosure of PHI:

• Minimum Necessary Standard: We only access and use the minimum amount of PHI necessary for specific purposes
• Patient Rights: We support your rights to access, amend, and request restrictions on your health information
• Notice of Privacy Practices: Clear communication about how we use and protect PHI
• Consent & Authorization: Obtaining proper consent before using PHI beyond treatment, payment, and operations
• De-identification: When using data for research or analytics, we properly de-identify PHI per HIPAA standards

Breach Notification Procedures

In accordance with the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, we maintain comprehensive breach response procedures:

Our Breach Response Protocol:

1. Detection & Assessment: Immediate investigation of any suspected breach
2. Risk Analysis: Evaluate the probability that PHI has been compromised
3. Notification Timeline: Notify affected individuals within 60 days if a breach affects 500+ people
4. HHS Notification: Report breaches to the Department of Health and Human Services as required
5. Media Notice: Provide media notification for breaches affecting 500+ individuals in a jurisdiction
6. Mitigation: Take immediate steps to mitigate harm and prevent future breaches

Business Associate Agreements

We maintain Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all third-party service providers that have access to PHI. These agreements ensure that our vendors also maintain HIPAA compliance and implement appropriate safeguards. We conduct regular audits of our business associates to verify ongoing compliance.

Technical Implementation

AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, encrypted backups

Authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA), strong password requirements, session management

Access Logs
