Protected Health Information (PHI)

Some MedScribe EMR services may involve patient records, medical documentation, clinical notes, and other healthcare information.

When we handle Protected Health Information (PHI) on behalf of a covered entity, we use and disclose it only for authorized purposes and as permitted by applicable law and our agreements.

Where required, MedScribe EMR may enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with a healthcare client. PHI is handled in accordance with applicable HIPAA requirements and contractual obligations.

How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information and PHI.

These measures may include access controls, restricted permissions, security procedures, confidentiality requirements, and safeguards for electronic information.

Access to sensitive information is limited to authorized personnel and service providers who need it for legitimate business or service purposes.

No electronic system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

• Service providers that support our technology, communications, security, or operations
• Healthcare clients when required to deliver requested services

Third-Party Services and Links

We may use third-party platforms and service providers to support website operations, communications, analytics, security, or other business functions.

Our website may also contain links to third-party websites.

Data Retention and Disposal

We retain information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, our business needs, contractual obligations, and applicable legal requirements.

The retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the service involved.
