Meet HipaaChat

It’s HIPAA-compliant text messaging. It also does video calls like FaceTime or Skype, but is HIPAA-compliant for healthcare and telehealth.

The beauty of HipaaChat is in its simplicity, because their doctors and nurses can text just like they normally would otherwise. It’s not only texting patient info and images, but also video calls. The FaceTime-like video calls are integral in providing accurate telemedicine consults and patient assessments, from anywhere. For example, their cardiologists can view real-time ECHOs and do outpatient follow-ups via HipaaChat’s telemedicine video calls. Neurologists can triage patients from the EMS and referring hospitals according to stroke protocol, obviously resulting in lives and brain cells saved. As another example, it’s been a huge help for ED Throughput. They’re sure you can imagine many more use cases for your hospitals and practices as well.

Don’t wanna type? Try their Walkie-Talkie! Need telemedicine? Use their video phone. HipaaChat makes your patients safer and your staff happier.
