Secure communication is mandatory and vital for
patient confidentiality, but it’s not intended to be a barrier to
high-quality, efficient care.
In fact, HIPAA regulations are intended to mesh
with and provide a foundation for the kind of proper, efficient exchange
of information that grounds new models of
collaborative care.
The HIPAA Security Rule mandates:
1 Confidentiality2 Integrity3 Availability
The law is intentionally technology neutral.
It doesn’t restrict methods of communication or specify
technologies.
But…flexibility comes at a price.
The burden is on healthcare organizations
to structure communication strategies and choose
technologies that fit with overall workflow and
patient care goals.
Studies show data security is a priority.
But there’s room to improve the integration of compliance and
clinical workflow, which directly impact patient care.

In their mission to improve patient care through secure communication, healthcare organizations often rely on a complex, often ad-hoc, array of technologies and
communication platforms.
But, the answer to HIPAA compliance +
patient care must focus simultaneously on data security and availability.
How to determine the best solution?
4 steps to get started…
Assess how staff communicate today, including care team members inside and outside the hospital.
1
Inventory every existing method of
communication — every device, every software
platform, every network.
2
Build HIPAA compliance into a new, standardized workflow communication model.
3
Evaluate and implement a secure care team collaboration platform that meets the technical security
standards required by HIPAA, streamlines workflow and improves
clinician communication.
4
A unified care team collaboration platform is essential to integrating HIPAA compliance with
the best patient care and population health management possible.
