Frequently asked questions
- Can the EMR be used without internet access?
-
No. The EMR requires internet access to function.
We do have plans in the roadmap to implement offline access in the near future but currently, internet is required.
Until then, if you don't have access to wifi we recommend a mobile hotspot which can be purchased from any of the major carriers.
It may also be possible for you to turn your mobile phone into a mobile hotspot to obtain internet through your wireless carrier.
If you are uncertain about mobile coverage in the area you'll be working, GSMA provides coverage maps which you can view here:
- Is the EMR HIPPA compliant?
-
Short answer. No.
A longer answer would be, yes, in every way except authentication.
For authentication we use SSO or passwordless authentication as we believe these are more secure and lead to a better user experience.
It would be fairly trivial for us to implement the HIPPA compliant authentication methods, but until we have the need, we have opted for a better user experience.
- Which patients apply to the billing limits?
-
We only count patient records which we consider active (updated in the last 18 months).
Patient records which have not been updated in the last 18 months DO NOT apply to the billing limits.
Older patient records will be archived for compliance reasons and will not apply to the billing limits.
You may access the archived records at any time.
- How can I cancel my subscription?
-
We believe cancelling a subscription should be easy, so we've built it that way.
Just head over to the billing page and you'll find a cancel button at the bottom.
We don't offer prorated refunds so you'll be able to access and update your records until the end of the billing period.
After the billing period you'll loose access to your patient records. We recommend you move the data you need to a safe place before the billing period ends.
Once the billing period ends, we'll archive your patient records and there will be additional fees if you need to retrieve them.
- How can I upgrade my subscription?
-
We want to help you make as large of an impact as possible.
If you need to upgrade just head over to the billing page and log into the billing portal. Once there you'll be able to select your new plan and changes will be reflected immediately.
- How secure is my patient data?
-
Very.
All of your data is encrypted between the server and your devices.
The data is encrypted at rest (when saved to disk) as well as being encyrpted inside the database. This means even if there is a security breach, you're data is useless to anyone without the security keys to read it.
Uploaded files are stored in a secure data storage solution.
While the technology is secure, it is important to understand the weakest point in any system is the people using it. It is essential to train your people on best security practices for your organization.
