In the recovery community maintaining privacy and security is not only a preference. It’s a necessity. Residents trust you with their sensitive information while working toward sobriety. This responsibility means you need to adopt robust privacy and security measures. The best way to do this is to use HIPAA compliant software.
Addiction is a personal struggle and people seeking help are often vulnerable. You need to protect their personal information because a breach of privacy can have dire consequences. From medications to social security numbers; it’s important to be safe guarded.
HIPAA complaint software will keep residents’ PHI safe and sound. While sober homes are not required to be HIPAA complaint, family members prefer ones that are. Organizations like yours deal with the same PHI that some doctors deal with each day. You need to ensure your participants’ information won’t be stolen.
Software like One Step provides data encryption and user access controls to ensure privacy. From meeting check in history to messages with staff and even their journal entries; their information is safe and sound. Your residents and staff will never have to worry about where their data goes and what it is being used for.
