Is MIDAS HIPAA compliant?

HIPAA (or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is legislation in the United States of America.

It provides data privacy and security provisions specifically for the safeguarding of medical information.

Whilst our MIDAS booking software has found numerous scheduling applications within the medical and health care industries, it is neither designed nor intended for the storage of actual patient medical records or Protected Health Information (PHI).

HIPAA compliance is therefore not applicable to the designed intended usage of our MIDAS software.

For this reason, you should not enter PHI into your MIDAS system. If a user chooses to input PHI into user-editable fields within MIDAS (for instance, a custom booking field, a client notes field, and so on), this falls outside the intended use of the software and is done at the user's own responsibility and risk.

As MIDAS is not intended to handle PHI, we do not act as a "Business Associate" for the purposes of HIPAA, and we are unable to enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
