At Sign In App, safety and compliance has always been at the core of our platform. We’re proud to share that Sign In App can now support HIPAA workflows with our integrated visitor management and scheduling capabilities. We understand the critical importance of safeguarding sensitive data such as protected health information (PHI) with confidence for organizations operating in healthcare environments.
Why HIPAA compliance is important
The US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the national standard for protecting sensitive patient data. If your organization handles US PHI - whether you’re a healthcare provider, insurer, or a business associate working with one - you need to ensure your tools and partners are aligned with HIPAA’s security and privacy requirements.
When it comes to healthcare, protecting patient information is essential, but visitors are often overlooked. Paper logs can expose patient names, and without a robust visitor management system in place, there is no accurate audit trail. Sign In App can help.
For healthcare organizations, this means peace of mind. Every time a visitor signs in - whether they’re a family member, contractor, or vendor - you can trust that their information is handled securely and in line with HIPAA requirements.
By choosing Sign In App you:
- Protect patient privacy: keep sensitive information safe from unauthorized access.
- Build trust: show patients, staff, and partners that you take compliance seriously.
- Reduce risk: avoid costly fines, breaches, or compliance gaps.
- Streamline operations: manage visitors efficiently without compromising on security.
