Secure Text Messaging

HIPAA Compliant Texting

TigerConnect solves the HIPAA compliance challenge of unsecured texting

Requirements: HIPAA-compliant texting and secure messaging

HIPAA-compliant texting requirements were introduced by the Final Omnibus Act of 2013 which related to the conditions under which it was permissible to communicate electronic protected health information (ePHI) between healthcare professionals and other HIPAA covered entities.

The requirements for texting in compliance with HIPAA are categorized into three sections – physical safeguards, technical safeguards, and administrative safeguards – and each of these safeguards must be fulfilled in order for the communication of ePHI to be HIPAA compliant over any electronic channel.
