How to Handle HIPAA Concerns With Cloud Data Warehouses

Achieving HIPAA compliance while maintaining an accessible data warehouse is crucial for US organizations handling sensitive personal health information. To balance accessibility and protection, follow certain practices to handle and exchange protected health information (PHI). Complying with HIPAA is a shared responsibility between your organization and the data warehouse provider you use. Key safeguards include administrative procedures, physical safeguards, and technical factors such as access control and encryption. Implementing these measures ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI in a data warehouse. Additionally, using data integration software like Fivetran can help maintain HIPAA compliance by identifying and managing PHI within the data pipeline.
