The rising need for HIPAA-compliant SaaS solutions in healthcare 

Healthcare has traditionally been a “fast follower” in the industry, often adopting new technologies after other sectors have proven their value. However, the COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the critical need for robust digital solutions to manage patient data and create telemedicine services. Since then, digital transformation in healthcare has accelerated, leading to more adopting of SaaS solutions and composable digital ecosystems – and heightening the importance of HIPAA compliance to protect personal health information (PHI). 

As more SaaS providers are working to achieve full HIPAA compliance, most still face evolving complexities. Yet, Sitecore’s proven commitment to providing a HIPAA-compliant ecosystem is a powerful step toward creating secure connected digital experiences.
