The document discusses how to build HIPAA compliant healthcare apps. It explains that HIPAA requires strict confidentiality of protected health information and compliance is mandatory for apps storing or transmitting patient data. To be compliant, apps must implement safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of patient data. Key technologies for HIPAA app development include encryption of data in transit and at rest, user authentication, role-based access controls, and audit logs to track activity.

HEALTHCARE APPS:
EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW!

2. WHAT IS HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a
federal rule that requires strict confidentiality for specific medical
information. The act was passed in 1996 to protect patients' privacy
and ensure the security of their medical records.
HIPAA compliance is mandatory for all healthcare organizations,
including apps that store or transmit patient data. To be HIPAA
compliant, an app must implement safeguards to protect patient data's
confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

3. WHAT SHOULD YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT HIPAA COMPLIANCE?
PHI ([Public Health Information)
CHI (Consumer Health Information)
Name
Address
Date of Birth
Social Security Number
Health Insurance Information
Medical Records and other health information
It is any information that can be used to identify an
individual and that is related to that individual’s health or
healthcare. This includes, but is not restricted to, details
such as:
It includes any information about a person's
health that can be used to identify them. This
can include things like their medical history,
test results, and treatments. Keeping CHI safe
and secure is important because it's very
sensitive information. If it falls into the wrong
hands, it could be used to exploit someone's
health condition or even steal their identity.

4. WHY IS HIPAA IMPORTANT?
PROTECTS PATIENTS' PRIVACY
Under HIPAA, patient information is
protected from being shared without
the patient's consent.
ENSURES THAT PATIENTS
RECEIVE QUALITY CARE
HIPAA requires that covered entities,
such as hospitals and clinics, provide
patients with high-quality care.
PROTECTS PATIENTS'
RIGHTS
HIPAA gives patients certain rights
concerning their health information,
such as the right to file a complaint if
they believe their privacy rights have
been violated.
PROVIDES PATIENTS CONTROL OVER
THEIR HEALTH INFORMATION
Patients have the right to request
access to their medical records and
corrections to any incorrect or
outdated information.
When it comes to healthcare mobile app development, HIPAA is indeed quite crucial.
Here is why!
For Patients

5. IMPROVED PATIENT
SATISFACTION
When patients feel that their privacy is
respected and protected, they are more
likely to be satisfied with their overall
experience.
ENHANCED SECURITY
A HIPAA-compliant hospital must have
physical, technical, and administrative
safeguards to protect patient
information.
REDUCED LIABILITY RISKS
If a hospital fails to comply with HIPAA
regulations, it could face significant
financial penalties.
IMPROVED EFFICIENCY
A well-run HIPAA compliance program
can help streamline many of the
hospital’s processes and procedures
related to patient information
management.

7. TECHNOLOGIES USED FOR HIPAA APP DEVELOPMENT
HIPAA-compliant mobile apps must use technologies that protect patient data from unauthorized access.
These include:
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) to
encrypt data in transit
256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to encrypt data at
rest
User authentication and authorization controls to restrict access
to app features and data
Role-based access controls to prevent unauthorized users from
accessing sensitive data
Audit logs to track user activity and detect potential security
breaches
