Secure your Healthcare Communications
Communications between patients and medical practitioners are central to today’s digital healthcare experiences. This includes video consultations, group discussion sessions, care and drug reminders, status notifications, critical alerts, and more. The Vonage Video API and SMS API allow these communications to be seamlessly embedded with healthcare applications.
Healthcare applications can securely use these Vonage APIs to deliver HIPAA-compliant applications. The Vonage platform implements security and data privacy best-practices. We conduct independent third-party audits to confirm our HIPAA compliant status, and confirm this through Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with Healthcare customers. Vonage has BAAs in place with our infrastructure and carrier providers that support our APIs.
Vonage services, especially our Enterprise Plan, provide you with the hands-on guidance, account management, and technical support to support the successful and secure delivery of Healthcare applications. This includes designated customer success managers, support engineers, and up-time SLAs.
What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was signed into law in 1996 as part of a larger healthcare reform in the United States. Part of the legislation is aimed at providing security and data privacy protections around access, use, and disclosure of protected health information (PHI).
By providing Video and SMS APIs used within healthcare applications, Vonage acts as a “Business Associate” to our customers, under the terms of the Act. Vonage signs Business Associate Agreements (BAA) to confirmthe implementation of required security, privacy and data breach related safeguards for the protection of PHI when these APIs are used appropriately. Our customers need to follow appropriate security and data privacy practices in their development to ensure that their final applications are HIPAA-compliant. HIPAA compliance is a shared responsibility between the customer and Vonage.
