Protecting sensitive patient data like Protected Health Information (PHI) is paramount in healthcare. That’s why choosing tools that adhere to the same strict privacy and security standards you do is crucial.
Recently, BoldSign became HIPAA compliant. This means organizations with HIPAA compliance and their third-party partners can confidently use BoldSign to securely obtain electronic signatures for their healthcare data.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 mandates the confidential handling of PHI. This act empowers patients with greater control over their medical records and sets national standards for safeguarding sensitive healthcare information.
HIPAA privacy rules require healthcare providers, organizations, and their business associates to implement procedures that ensure the confidentiality and security of PHI throughout its transfer, receipt, handling, and sharing.
Here are some things to look for while choosing a HIPAA compliant electronic signature platform.
All electronic data must be encrypted, and any hosting services used by your electronic signature provider must also provide a high level of security. In BoldSign, your data is protected by high security and privacy standards in the industry.
For HIPAA compliance, data must be stored within the United States region. BoldSign is hosted on the Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure servers in the US East data center. This provides the highest level of assurance that your data is safe and secure.
The software should provide features like two-factor authentication and IP restrictions to safeguard PHI access. BoldSign supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for accessing the accounts in secured way and allows IP restriction too.
The provider must be willing to sign a BAA with your organization. Here in BoldSign, we are always ready to sign a BAA as we mentioned above.
Also please remember, adhering to these guidelines alone doesn’t guarantee HIPAA compliance, but these are the top few checklists to choose a reliable electronic signature provider. Always consult with an expert when implementing new systems.
To enable a HIPAA compliance, you must sign a BAA with the electronic signature provider. In BoldSign, you can do the below to get the BAA signed.
In BoldSign the below things will be restricted once you have signed BAA with us to ensure the HIPAA standards.
