HIPAA Compliance

Supports healthcare professionals with real-time reminders to protect patient privacy — turning potential PHI disclosures into coaching moments before information leaves approved channels.

Casual Messages Are the Leading Cause of HIPAA Breaches

Healthcare workers communicate constantly across shifts, departments, and facilities. In the urgency of patient care, protected health information can slip into Slack messages, texts, and emails. SideNote coaches your teams before PHI leaves the approved channel, reinforcing the HIPAA training they've already received.

Hey team — heads up on a case update.

hepatitis C. Need to update care plan ASAP.
PHI Disclosure Alert

Patient health information — including name, room number, and diagnosis — should only be shared through approved medical systems, not casual messaging platforms. Use the EHR secure messaging system instead.

Real-Time Patient Privacy Coaching

Developed in collaboration with Big Law healthcare privacy practitioners, this model reinforces your organization's HIPAA standards at the point of communication.

PHI Detection

Identifies protected health information in real time — patient names, medical record numbers, diagnoses, treatment details, and other HIPAA-defined identifiers — across all communication channels on the device.

Secure Channel Routing Guidance

When PHI is detected in an unapproved channel, SideNote coaches the employee to use the organization's approved secure messaging system — providing a clear, actionable redirect rather than just a warning.

Healthcare Worker Coaching

Context-aware guidance that understands the urgency of clinical communication. Coaching messages are concise and respect workflow demands — helping staff protect privacy without slowing down patient care.

Compliance Officer Intelligence

Aggregated, anonymized analytics give the Privacy Officer and General Counsel's office visibility into PHI risk patterns by department, shift, and communication channel — enabling targeted training investments.

Built for Healthcare Organizations of Every Size
