eSign Simplifies HIPAA Compliance for Healthcare
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) aims to guarantee that organisations handling protected health information (PHI) implement robust security and privacy measures to safeguard patient data.
eSign is compatible with Electronic Health Records (EHRs), allowing patients to conveniently sign necessary documents from any device. eSign incorporates multiple layers of security and authentication to ensure HIPAA compliance and the protection of sensitive patient information.
HIPAA Compliant eSignature Solution
eSign has various protocols and procedures in place for organisations to implement compliant electronic signatures into their processes. Our electronic signatures come with a full audit trail and certificate of completion, providing proof of the transaction. This includes the IP address, date and time stamps, and other identifying information.
In accordance with the HIPAA compliance checklist, emphasis is placed on clear documentation and retention. So, by maintaining detailed audit trails, every eSignature is accountable and traceable. Accurate record keeping in this manner aligns perfectly with HIPAA’s aim of safeguarding sensitive patient details.
How to use E-Signatures with HIPAA documents
Follow the steps below to ensure your electronically signed documents are fully HIPAA compliant.
- Choose an e-signature provider that is compliant with HIPAA guidelines and has robust security systems and protocols in place, to maintain the privacy and integrity of protected health information.
- Select the type of HIPAA document you want to send.
- If necessary, include a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in your document to ensure compliance and offer assurance in the event of a breach.
- Regularly review your documents to check they continually meet HIPAA requirements.
Highly Secure Electronic Signatures
The most important factor when maintaining HIPAA compliance with electronic signatures is the robustness of security protocols and how data is handled to maximise its protection. eSign uses a highly secure 256-bit SSL encryption, to keep sensitive information as safe as possible from cyber threats.
eSign has an impressive infrastructure with ISO 27001 certified state of the art servers. These are protected by commercial grade firewalls, border routers, and network management systems as well as 24-hour onsite security and strict physical access controls. We strive to continually maintain the highest standards of security to support our ongoing compliance with HIPAA.
