HIPAA compliance is complicated, but it doesn't have to be. Butter.ai helps relieve the technical burden with our HIPAA-compliant cloud computing platform and solutions for healthcare.
In an effort to make compliance as easy as possible for companies working with protected health information (PHI), we decided to open source our company policies.
Our policies have been written with modern, cloud-based technology vendors in mind.
HIPAA compliance really has two halves. The first half includes all technical guidelines, both physical and digital. Compliant companies take measures to secure their hardware and manage their software in a certain way. Encryption, logging, monitoring—these are just a few examples of HIPAA technical requirements. Butter.ai builds its platform with these guidelines in mind.
The second half of HIPAA is focused on administrative and organizational activities. This includes signing Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), and managing company policies like training, among other things. Crafting company policies that align with HIPAA administrative guidelines are straightforward, but an immense burden.
By open sourcing our own company policies, we hope other companies who handle PHI will benefit. It aligns with our company mission: to help you focus on building innovative healthcare applications.
Butter.ai. Butter is a HIPAA compliant bot that connects your team’s files so you can always find what you’re looking for.
