Determining hipaa compliance of software applications
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11901050B2) outlines a method for determining the compliance of a software application with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The method involves receiving a request over a computer network to assess the software application's compliance with HIPAA, particularly in handling protected health information (PHI) or personally identifiable information (PII). The processor then evaluates if the software application implements a set number of safeguard techniques for various categories, such as access control, data integrity, authentication, audit control, and transmission security. Based on this evaluation, the system determines whether the software application is compliant with HIPAA and provides an output on a user interface indicating its compliance status.
Furthermore, the patent includes provisions for suggesting remedial measures on the user interface to guide the software application towards compliance if it falls short. The safeguard techniques encompass a range of security measures, including unique user identification, emergency access procedures, encryption/decryption, access control lists, and more. The method also involves verifying user authenticity through procedures like unique user identifiers, email addresses, mobile numbers, and device fingerprints. The patent extends to a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing machine-executable code for implementing the compliance assessment method and a system comprising a processor and memory for executing the evaluation process and providing compliance status indications on a user interface, along with remedial measures for non-compliant software applications.
