Software Built for Healthcare's Regulatory Reality
HIPAA technical safeguards, PHI data controls, and audit-ready architecture—designed into your systems from the start, not retrofitted before launch.
Why Healthcare Software Is Different
Healthcare software operates under constraints that general-purpose development ignores. PHI must be protected not just at the database level but across every layer where it flows—APIs, logs, caches, third-party integrations, and development environments. Access controls must enforce minimum necessary principles consistently. Audit logs must capture what compliance teams and auditors actually need to see.
Most software projects treat compliance as a final checklist. In healthcare, that approach produces systems with structural gaps that are expensive to fix after launch. Access controls retrofitted onto an existing data model. Logging added to a system that wasn't designed to produce audit evidence. Encryption applied inconsistently across environments.
We design healthcare software with HIPAA technical safeguards as hard constraints from the beginning. PHI data flows are mapped before architecture decisions are made. BAA obligations are identified before vendor selection. Audit logging is designed to capture the right events—not just the easy ones.
What We Build for Healthcare
- Patient-facing platforms — Portals, scheduling tools, and communication systems with PHI access controls and minimum necessary data exposure
- Clinical workflow applications — Software that integrates with provider workflows, supports human oversight, and generates appropriate audit evidence
- AI-assisted clinical tools — Retrieval-augmented systems that surface information to clinicians without replacing clinical judgment or bypassing review workflows
- Health data pipelines — Ingestion and transformation systems for claims, clinical records, and other regulated data with access controls and comprehensive logging
- EHR and health system integrations — HL7 FHIR interfaces, Epic and Cerner integrations, and interoperability architecture for regulated data exchange
- Administrative automation — Prior authorization, billing, and operations tools that reduce administrative burden while maintaining compliant audit trails
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We execute BAAs with all healthcare clients before accessing or handling any PHI. If your legal team requires specific language or prefers to use your organization's template, we can work from that.
We use de-identified or synthetic data in non-production environments wherever possible. When real PHI is required for testing specific scenarios, we apply the same access controls and audit logging as production. Development environments that handle PHI are subject to the same HIPAA technical safeguard requirements.
Yes. We have experience integrating with Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, and other major EHR platforms. Integration approaches vary significantly by vendor—some offer robust FHIR APIs, others use proprietary interfaces. We assess your specific EHR environment early in the engagement to scope integration work accurately.
Yes, with appropriate design constraints. Clinical AI tools we build use retrieval-augmented architectures where possible, so outputs are attributable to specific source documents. Human review is a mandatory workflow step, not an optional one. We design these systems to support clinical judgment rather than replace it.
