Understanding HIPAA Compliance

Our Commitment to HIPAA Compliance

MindHealthFlow is built from the ground up to meet and exceed HIPAA requirements for protecting electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). We understand that as a mental health professional, maintaining client confidentiality is both an ethical obligation and a legal requirement.

Technical Safeguards

We implement comprehensive technical measures to protect your client data:

• AES-256 encryption for all data at rest
• TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit
• Automatic session timeouts and secure authentication
• Role-based access controls limiting data access to authorized users
• Regular security audits and penetration testing
• Automated backup systems with encrypted storage

Administrative Safeguards

Beyond technology, we maintain strict administrative policies:

• All employees complete HIPAA training annually
• Background checks for all staff with data access
• Incident response procedures for potential breaches
• Regular risk assessments and policy reviews
• Documented procedures for all data handling

Business Associate Agreement

MindHealthFlow provides a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to all customers on Professional and Enterprise plans. This legally binding document outlines our responsibilities for protecting your clients' PHI and is required for HIPAA compliance when using cloud-based practice management software.

Your Responsibilities

While we provide a HIPAA-compliant platform, you also play a role in maintaining compliance:

• Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication
• Only access client records on secure, private networks
• Log out of MindHealthFlow when not in use
• Report any suspected security incidents immediately
• Ensure your own devices meet security requirements

Audit Logs

MindHealthFlow maintains detailed audit logs of all access to client records, including who accessed what information and when. These logs are available for your review and can be exported for compliance documentation or in response to audit requests.
