HIPAA Compliance Software
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Narrate gives you everything you need to achieve and maintain HIPAA compliance — privacy safeguards, security controls, breach notification workflows, and business associate oversight.
What is HIPAA?
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a US federal law that establishes national standards for the protection of individually identifiable health information, known as Protected Health Information (PHI). It encompasses the Privacy Rule, which governs the use and disclosure of PHI; the Security Rule, which sets standards for safeguarding electronic PHI; and the Breach Notification Rule, which requires notification following a breach of unsecured PHI. HIPAA applies to covered entities — including healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses — as well as their business associates who handle PHI on their behalf.
How Narrate helps with HIPAA
Common HIPAA challenges
HIPAA readiness trips up even experienced teams. Here's what slows people down.
PHI Data Classification
Identifying and classifying all forms of Protected Health Information across systems, workflows, and third-party integrations requires thorough data mapping and ongoing inventory management.
Security Rule Technical Safeguards
Implementing access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, and transmission security across all systems that create, receive, maintain, or transmit ePHI.
Breach Notification 60-Day Timeline
Meeting the strict 60-day notification deadline requires rapid breach detection, risk assessment, and coordinated notification to affected individuals, HHS, and potentially the media.
Business Associate Compliance
Ensuring all business associates who access PHI have proper agreements in place and maintain adequate safeguards demands continuous oversight and contract management.
