Security
Managing a health practice requires a lot more security than your average business, because of the sensitive data you’re storing.
For practices of every size, protecting the health information of your patients needs to be a top priority, no matter what stage of growth you’re in. There are specific security features you should look for in a practice management software to ensure patient privacy.
Find a practice management software that is compliant with global standards for data protection. HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and other compliance certificates should be a given, as they are widely considered the bare minimum when it comes to protecting your patients’ health data.
Preferably, look for a platform that is ISO 270001 certified, as this is the highest global standard for information security.
Beyond that, check that the practice management software you choose provides basic security features like multi-factor authentication, data encryption, and automated time-outs, as these l tools make it easier to secure patient data.
