Description

A focused course, tailored for you

HIPAA and ONC Compliance for Digital Health Platforms

How digital health platform teams build HIPAA control maps, ONC compliance documentation, and audit evidence that health systems accept.

Health system procurement now requires annotated HIPAA control mappings and documented PHI data flows, not vendor attestation letters. Platform teams that cannot produce section-level evidence for 45 CFR §164.308 lose deals to smaller competitors who can show the work.

Why this course

The standard pitch works until it does not. The platform is HIPAA compliant, the BAA is on file, the security attestation has been signed. Then the health system compliance officer opens the evaluation to the technical safeguards section and asks for the actual control mapping, the PHI data flow through the incident management workflow, and the audit evidence architecture. The attestation letter does not answer those questions. A generic BAA template does not either. The implementation team that has done this work before wins the deal. The team that has not loses it, regardless of the platform's underlying capability.

What you walk away with

Map all 36 HIPAA Security Rule safeguard specifications to workflow platform configuration options, producing a control mapping document an OCR auditor would accept.
Structure a BAA template with platform-specific provisions that addresses the subcontractor and subprocessor questions health system legal teams raise.
Build a PHI data flow diagram for a workflow implementation that satisfies the customer's risk analysis scoping requirements.
Navigate ONC information blocking requirements for workflow tools that handle clinical data, applying the correct exceptions to documented information sharing workflows.
Design an audit evidence architecture that preserves access logs, configuration history, and incident records in the format required for HHS OCR review.

The 12 modules

Module 1. The HIPAA Security Rule Architecture

The Security Rule's 36 required and addressable specifications map to real platform configurations in ways most vendor documentation glosses over. This module takes each safeguard and maps it to the workflow platform configuration layer: access control settings, audit log configuration, integrity controls, and transmission security settings. Output is a two-page control mapping skeleton your team uses on every health system engagement to start, not scrambles to assemble when the RFP section arrives.

Module 2. Business Associate Agreement Engineering

Health system legal teams have evolved their BAA requirements well beyond the generic vendor template. This module covers BAA architecture for platform implementations: subcontractor and subprocessor provisions, permitted uses when PHI appears in incident tickets, termination and data destruction obligations, and how to structure exhibits that reference your platform's specific configuration. You leave knowing which sections generate the most pushback and how to resolve them before the deal stalls.

Module 3. PHI Data Flow Mapping for Workflow Systems

Before the risk analysis and before the BAA negotiation, the customer's compliance officer needs a data flow diagram showing exactly where PHI enters, moves through, and exits the workflow platform. This module covers how to build that map for incident management, case management, and HR workflows: identifying PHI touchpoints, documenting retention schedules, and producing the diagram format that HIPAA assessors and accreditation reviewers actually accept in an evaluation.

Module 4. ONC Information Blocking Compliance

The ONC information blocking rules at 45 CFR §171 create obligations for health IT developers and their platform partners. This module covers when workflow automation tools qualify as health IT, what the eight information blocking exceptions mean for implementation scoping, and how to document your customer's information sharing workflows to satisfy ONC requirements. Practical focus on the Infeasibility and Segmentation exceptions most relevant to enterprise workflow deployments in healthcare environments.

Module 5. FDA Software as a Medical Device Basics

Most enterprise workflow platforms do not qualify as SaMD, but the line is closer than teams expect when clinical decision support is in scope. This module covers FDA Digital Health Center of Excellence policies, the SaMD definition criteria, and the 21 CFR Part 11 requirements that apply when workflow platforms manage electronic records in clinical settings. Output is a scoping checklist that identifies and documents FDA risk before the customer raises it in their evaluation.

Module 6. HIPAA Risk Analysis for Enterprise Platform Deployments

The HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities to conduct an accurate and thorough risk analysis of their PHI environment. Your platform is in scope because it processes PHI. This module covers how to scope that analysis for a workflow platform deployment: identifying PHI environment boundaries, applying NIST SP 800-30 threat categories to workflow scenarios, and producing risk analysis documentation that satisfies OCR expectations without requiring a dedicated security consultant to lead each engagement.

Module 7. Audit Evidence Architecture

When HHS Office for Civil Rights opens a compliance investigation, the first request is for audit logs, configuration history, and access records going back at least six years. Most workflow platforms generate this data. Few implementations are configured to preserve it correctly. This module covers how to configure the platform's audit trail for compliance investigations: log retention settings, configuration history requirements, and what access records must capture to satisfy the Minimum Necessary documentation standard.

Module 8. Access Management and RBAC for PHI Environments

The HIPAA Minimum Necessary standard requires users to access only the PHI needed for their role. In a workflow platform that maps to role-based access control configuration, queue visibility rules, and field-level permissions. This module covers how to build and document the access matrix for a health system implementation: role definitions mapped to PHI access scope, the configuration documentation the compliance team requires, and how to handle access provisioning for contractors and business associates.

Module 9. Incident Response and Breach Notification Workflows

The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule starts a 60-day reporting clock from discovery. In a workflow platform that clock starts from when the first incident ticket is created. This module covers how to build the triage workflow that identifies PHI involvement within 24 hours: the ticket fields that capture the required breach determination elements, the escalation path to the privacy officer, and the documentation trail that supports the HHS notification report if it becomes required.

Module 10. Healthcare ESG and Sustainability Compliance

Health networks face growing pressure to report Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions as part of regulatory and investor sustainability requirements. Workflow platforms are becoming the operational system of record for the data underlying those reports. This module covers GHG Protocol categories relevant to healthcare operations, how to configure workflow-based data collection for facilities and procurement spend, and what ESG materiality assessment means for health system customers with European reporting obligations.

Module 11. ONC Interoperability and FHIR API Documentation

The ONC interoperability rules require certified health IT to support FHIR R4 APIs for patient and provider access. When your workflow platform connects to clinical systems it enters this regulatory perimeter. This module covers the FHIR R4 resource types relevant to workflow integrations, how to document API connections for ONC certification review, and the HL7 C-CDA to FHIR mapping basics your team needs when health system customers raise interoperability compliance during the evaluation process.

Module 12. The Customer Success Playbook for Health Compliance

The implementation is complete only when the compliance officer signs off. Sign-off requires a documentation package that goes beyond the platform's technical configuration. This module covers how to run the customer-facing compliance review: the milestone structure that keeps the project on track, the documentation package that satisfies risk analysis, accreditation, and BAA requirements, and how to handle the compliance question that was not in the original scope but arrives three weeks before go-live.

How this addresses your situation

Specific modules that map to what you said you are dealing with.

Pre-sales: health system RFP section 4 asks for annotated HIPAA control mappings and PHI data flow documentation the team does not yet have ready.

Implementation scoping: the customer's compliance officer asks what PHI the platform touches and requires a formal data flow diagram before signing the project plan.

Go-live: the compliance team requires a complete configuration documentation package and signed BAA with platform-specific exhibits before the system enters production.

Post go-live: an OCR investigation or accreditation review requires audit evidence, access records, and incident documentation from the platform going back multiple years.

Before and after

Before

The team's HIPAA compliance answer in a health system evaluation is a vendor attestation letter and a BAA template that has not been reviewed against the customer's specific workflow deployment type.

After

Every health system engagement starts with a pre-built control mapping framework, a PHI data flow template specific to the deployment type, and a BAA review checklist that walks the customer's legal team through each section systematically.

What happens if you do not address this

Health system procurement is moving to compliance-first evaluation. Deals are going to smaller competitors not because those competitors have better platforms but because they can produce the control mapping documentation and PHI data flow evidence the health system requires. A platform team that cannot produce that documentation on demand loses evaluations it should win on technical merit alone.

Who it is for

Digital health solutions executives, implementation architects, and platform specialists working in healthcare technology. People who sell, implement, or build workflow automation tools inside hospitals, health networks, and digital health companies, and who need to understand the HIPAA and ONC regulatory framework well enough to architect compliant solutions and pass customer compliance reviews.

Who this is NOT for. Healthcare lawyers doing theoretical compliance analysis. Hospital compliance officers managing internal programs. Software developers building clinical applications from scratch. This course is for the platform side: the teams selling and implementing enterprise workflow tools in regulated healthcare environments who need to produce the compliance documentation their customers require.

How it arrives

Text-based course in the Art of Service learning environment, plus downloadable templates and worked examples for every module, plus the hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.

Time investment. Self-paced, approximately 8 to 10 hours of module content with template completion exercises.

Why $199 is the right number

Internal compliance teams can develop this knowledge through deal experience, but the ramp time is 6 to 12 months of hands-on health system work. External healthcare compliance consultants charge $350 to $500 per hour for implementation guidance at this level. This course delivers the framework, the templates, and the implementation playbook in a format the whole solutions team can use immediately.

FAQ

We are an implementation partner, not the platform vendor. Does this apply to our team?

Yes. The skills apply equally to implementation partners and system integrators working in healthcare. Module 12 is specifically structured for the customer-facing delivery side of compliance implementation projects.

Does this course cover Medicare and Medicaid billing compliance?

The course focuses on HIPAA Security Rule, ONC information blocking, FDA SaMD basics, and healthcare ESG sustainability requirements. Medicare and Medicaid billing compliance is outside the course scope.
