This reduces risk, simplifies audits, and supports compliance - all while delivering an exceptional visitor experience.
What is HIPAA?
HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and is a U.S. law that sets national standards for protecting Protected Health Information (PHI). Any healthcare provider, insurer, or partner that handles PHI must comply with HIPAA by using secure systems, signing Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), and following strict safeguards.
Why HIPAA matters for visitor management and appointment scheduling
HIPAA compliance doesn’t stop at medical records; it extends to every interaction that touches patient information and visitor management is an often overlooked aspect.
Visitor logs can contain PHI (e.g., “John Smith visiting Oncology Dept.”). Scheduling data often includes sensitive appointment details. Non-compliance can result in fines, audits, and reputational damage
