Salesforce Health Cloud is fabricated to combine power & security of cloud with social and mobile technologies.
Let us first see what is HIPAA’s story and then move forward to How Salesforce Health Cloud meet HIPAA guidelines!
During the 90’s, the government of United States decided to bring up new norms and regulations….. …...because the intervention of Information Technology was extensive.
This gave rise to HIPAA which is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
The act of HIPAA was formulated in 1996 by the United States Congress under the leadership of President Bill Clinton. Follow along for a few listings of HIPAA:
Breakdown of HIPAA Compliance 1. It states list of norms, rules, and regulations which need to be followed in software used by healthcare industry or medical institution.

Meeting HIPAA Standards
The cost benefits and operational efficiencies which are achieved by using cloud services like Salesforce.com are simply too important to ignore.
Although Salesforce’s own security measures are scalable and robust, still HIPAA compliance is an ultimate mandate for your organisation; of course by following best practices. Let us see how Salesforce is meeting HIPAA compliance standards and streamlining processes.
1. Privacy, Integrity, and Availability
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services describes PHI – protected health information of individuals as Individually Identifiable Health Information
HIPAA regulations aim at offering complete protection, privacy, integrity, and availability of such information. Individually Identifiable Health Information + Availability
Well, when it comes Salesforce.com meeting HIPAA compliance, just do not bother about electronic versions of data which is ePHI. Which is why, the first step will be to examine the data you send to Salesforce and identify every field which contains or might contain ePHI.
2. Data Monitoring, Controlling & Implementing Access Controls
Protect your ePHI by crafting strict access control policy which limits the access of data to employees and apps which needs them truly. Take steps to minimise the chance of unauthorised access.
CipherCloud’s “Cloud Information Protection” platform offers DLP modules which can identify HIPAA/HITECH violations henceforth protecting data.
3. Encryption and Tokenization
CipherCloud offers full control over the decryption of your data. Even if the data is leaked, no one will be able to read it or access it without your participation. CipherCloud’s cloud information protection platform is a great selection of encryption and tokenization options. Encryption is a standard approach to ePHI protection and key to Salesforce.com HIPAA compliance.
( Conclusion ) 4. Salesforce Shield
Salesforce Health Cloud supports Salesforce Shield which enhances security. It offers a new dimension in the provider-patient relationship along with many platform features and resources.
Salesforce Health Cloud (which is HIPAA compliant) feature comprises of: Salesforce Shield Field Audit Trail Platform Encryption Data Archive Event Monitoring. ● ● ● ● ●
