Healthcare Software Built for Compliance

HIPAA-compliant applications, EHR integrations, and telemedicine platforms — built by developers who understand regulated healthcare environments.

Why Healthcare Software Requires Specialized Expertise

Healthcare software operates under strict regulatory oversight. A single HIPAA violation can cost up to $1.5M per incident, and the 2026 Security Rule updates mandate MFA, annual risk assessments, and 72-hour incident response. Generic development teams treat compliance as an afterthought — we build it into every sprint.

HIPAA Privacy Rule

PHI handling, minimum necessary standard, patient rights

HIPAA Security Rule

Technical safeguards, encryption, access controls, audit logs

HITECH Act

Breach notification, meaningful use, EHR incentives

FDA SaMD

Software as a Medical Device classification and pre-market review

SOC 2 Type II

Security, availability, and confidentiality controls

State Telehealth Laws

Licensing, consent, and prescribing regulations by state

Healthcare Software Development FAQ

What makes healthcare software development different from general software?

Healthcare software must comply with HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, requiring end-to-end encryption, audit logging, role-based access controls, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with every vendor. Beyond compliance, healthcare apps need HL7 FHIR interoperability, clinical workflow integration, and FDA oversight if they qualify as Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). General software has none of these requirements.

How do you ensure HIPAA compliance throughout development?

We build HIPAA compliance into every phase: threat modeling during design, encryption at rest and in transit, automated PHI detection in CI/CD, penetration testing before launch, and ongoing security monitoring post-deployment. We also prepare the technical documentation needed for BAAs and conduct annual risk assessments aligned with the 2026 HIPAA Security Rule updates.

Can you integrate with our existing EHR system (Epic, Cerner, etc.)?

Yes. We have experience integrating with Epic (via FHIR R4 and App Orchard), Cerner (now Oracle Health), Allscripts, and athenahealth. We handle SMART on FHIR authentication, bulk data export, CDS Hooks for clinical decision support, and HL7v2 ADT feeds for legacy systems. Our EHR integration guide covers the technical patterns in detail.

How long does it take to build a HIPAA-compliant application?

A focused HIPAA-compliant MVP (patient portal, telehealth module, or clinical dashboard) typically takes 3-5 months. Full-scale healthcare platforms with EHR integration, complex workflows, and SaMD classification can take 6-12+ months. We use 2-week agile sprints so you see working software early and can validate clinical workflows with real users.

Do you build telemedicine and remote patient monitoring (RPM) platforms?

Yes. We build HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platforms with video consultations, e-prescribing integration (EPCS), RPM device data ingestion, and clinical documentation. Our telemedicine solutions support FHIR-based data exchange with existing EHR systems and meet state-specific telehealth licensing requirements.

Built for Regulated Healthcare

Our healthcare practice is led by developers with 12+ years of experience building regulated software. We understand that in healthcare, software failures aren't just bugs — they're patient safety risks.
