HIPAA Compliance Update
PlannedThose of us who are big Podio users and in clinical healthcare are very eager to find out if and when Podio is likely to be officially HIPAA compliant to the point of supporting a Business Associate Agreement also. This is a topic that has been raised many times, but a recent post suggested that perhaps this was being actively pursued by Podio? It would be good to have an update either way. Thanks

Hi. I'd like to suggest an alternative strategy. I know that Podio meets the technical requirements for HIPAA compliance but it's not ready for BAA agreements with users. Is it possible to add patient data into Podio with no identifying information attached to it? The only way to match patient data with patient identification information would be via a secured and HIPAA compliant EMR system. The EMR would reference a Podio link and Podio would reference an EMR link but a breach of one system would require a breach of both systems to gain any meaningful data. Would this work as a strategy to use Podio in a medical practice?

Hi Chaim,
My apologies for the lateness in our reply here.
Sara H. has spoken to this as well, and I have included her comments below;
"Hi everyone,
We have this as a part of the roadmap for 2021 - no ETA or promise yet but working towards an audit by end of 2021 with the option to sign a BAA.

Hope this helps!
Best,
Dana - Podio
