Security is a common concern when it comes to storing electronic health records and that is why we put our full effort into making sure we implement every possible security measure within SeriousMD.
We employ a long list of measures to keep your data / electronic medical records as protected as possible. These include compliance with the HIPAA's regulations, SSL AES 256-bit, role-designated access rules, automated session logout, multifactor authentication, and more. The learn more, see our Data and Security page.
We go above and beyond even the local data privacy laws. We encrypt everything, including messages when you use SeriousMD messenger, which enables you to send orders through it unlike SMS or messaging apps like Facebook Messenger which aren't encrypted.
