To help you adhere to HIPAA laws and further safeguard client information, you can enable the Enforce HIPAA setting at the group level to ensure sensitive information does not leave Usked. #

Where can I find the Enforce HIPAA setting? #

To find the setting go to People > Groups. Click on the pencil (edit) icon next to the group, then from the Attributes tab you’ll see the Enforce HIPAA toggle. 

How does it work? #

Once the toggle is set to Yes for a particular group, Usked will prevent the system from sending PII to third party systems for that group’s requests. This setting will impact the following:  

• Viewing Posted Service Requests and Blocks
• QuickBooks™ Invoice Export
• iCalendar Feature
• Email Composer

What is Personally Identifiable Information or PII?  #

PII is any information that could potentially identify a specific individual. Here’s a list of PII within the Usked system impacted by the “Enforce HIPAA” setting:

• The address of the service request location
• The room number
• The public location notes
• The names of the points of contact
• The contact information for the points of contact
• The public notes for the points of contact
• The names of the clients receiving services
• The service requested for these clients
• The public notes for these clients
• File attachments
• The public event notes (event details)
