HIPAA Readiness
Last updated: September 18, 2026
Current status
HLISTIX does not currently offer a HIPAA-supported deployment and does not currently enter into Business Associate Agreements with customers. The current service should not be used where HLISTIX would be required to act as a HIPAA Business Associate.
Architected with healthcare data in mind
HLISTIX was architected with healthcare-data privacy and security requirements in mind, including considerations relevant to future HIPAA-regulated use. The platform incorporates technical controls such as encryption, access controls and auditability intended to support professional healthcare workflows.
- TLS encryption for data in transit
- AES-256 encryption for data at rest
- Role-based access controls
- Audit logging and monitoring
- Secure cloud infrastructure
Business Associate Agreements
Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a Business Associate Agreement is a contract between a covered entity (such as a healthcare provider) and a business associate (a service provider that may access Protected Health Information on behalf of the covered entity).
HLISTIX is currently validating market demand before enabling its HIPAA-supported offering. Until that offering is enabled, HLISTIX does not enter into Business Associate Agreements with customers, and users may not use the Service for PHI subject to HIPAA where such use would require HLISTIX to act as a Business Associate.
Whether HIPAA applies to your practice depends on your covered-entity or business-associate status and the electronic transactions you conduct — not on the size or private status of the practice.
Practitioner Responsibility
HLISTIX is an educational research, professional reference and documentation platform for qualified healthcare practitioners. The platform may surface contextually relevant research and professional reference information based on practitioner-entered information. HLISTIX does not independently diagnose disease, prescribe or select treatment, generate a patient-specific treatment plan or treatment directive, or replace the independent professional judgment of the practitioner. Practitioners independently review the underlying sources and determine whether and how information is relevant to an individual patient.
Practitioners are solely responsible for determining whether information they upload constitutes PHI, for obtaining appropriate patient consent, and for compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations.
