Encryption & Data Protection
Business Associate Agreement
SchedulingKit provides a signed BAA that outlines our obligations for protecting PHI. The agreement covers data storage, transmission, breach notification, and disposal procedures.
Business Associate Agreement
Audit Logs & Monitoring
Every access, modification, and deletion of patient data is logged with timestamps, user identity, and IP address. Audit logs are immutable and retained for the HIPAA-required period.

Role-Based Access Controls
Define exactly which staff members can view, edit, or export patient data. Front-desk staff see appointment times while providers access full clinical intake responses.
Role-Based Access Controls
Secure Communications
Appointment reminders, follow-ups, and client messages are sent through encrypted channels. PHI is never included in unsecured email or SMS unless the patient explicitly opts in.

HIPAA Compliance Best Practices
Get the most out of hipaa compliance with these practical tips
- 1
Sign the BAA with SchedulingKit before adding any patient health information to the system — the BAA must be in place before PHI is stored or transmitted.
- 2
Configure role-based access so front-desk staff can manage appointments but cannot view clinical notes or detailed medical intake responses.
- 3
Review audit logs monthly to verify that only authorized personnel are accessing patient records and booking data.
- 4
Use SchedulingKit's secure messaging instead of personal email or SMS when communicating appointment details that include PHI.
