Yes, NextMe can be used in a HIPAA compliant way.
One common misconception is that a software vendor can be formally HIPAA certified. There is no governing body that can officially certify a vendor as compliant because compliance is a comprehensive process involving security measures, policies, and procedures for handling Protected Health Information (PHI), not just a product feature. Many existing "certifications" are third party audits with varying degrees of legitimacy.
Technical Safeguards: We built NextMe with privacy in mind and have followed HIPAA standards in regards to encryption and data governance. As rules and regulations evolve, we do our best to stay ahead of the game. We offer automated PHI data purging and flexible options to ensure the protection of patient data. However, it is up to your organization to leverage these options in a way that meets your internal and external privacy requirements.
Business Associate Agreements (BAAs): NextMe can provide signed BAAs upon request. These legal contracts outline our responsibility to safeguard PHI and comply with HIPAA rules.
