HIPAA-Compliant Communication & Support Tools
Healthcare teams rely on messaging, support, and communication APIs for everything from patient follow-up to telehealth coordination. Any vendor that will create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI on your behalf needs to support HIPAA compliance, which in practice means technical safeguards plus a signed Business Associate Agreement.
