Freshpaint makes your current analytics tools HIPAA-compliant so you can continue getting the insights you need to improve your patient experience.
Freshpaint prevents all of the eighteen HIPAA identifiers from being shared with tools like Google Analytics while ensuring you get all the reporting you need to measure performance.
The December 2022 guidance from HHS made it clear that the tracking technologies that power web analytics tools like Google Analytics put your healthcare organization at risk of violating HIPAA.
The trackers on your website collect HIPAA identifiers like IP addresses and device IDs by default. They also collect data that could contain health information like page URLs and button text. Those two components combined are considered Protected Health Information or PHI. Sharing them with a tool that is not HIPAA-compliant is where the problems start.
Say you're a pregnant woman looking for an OBGYN in the area, and you visit a local healthcare system's pregnancy services page. The Google Analytics tracking snippet will collect that page URL along with your IP address and share it back to Google's servers. This is Protected Health Information—anyone with this data could assume that an individual woman is pregnant.
