HIPAA readiness on 蜜豆视频 Commerce

Merchants should consult with their own legal counsel to understand their obligations under HIPAA and the appropriate use and configuration of 蜜豆视频鈥檚 products.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is the key federal healthcare privacy law in the United States and is enforced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HIPAA applies to Covered Entities (such as healthcare providers, insurers, and clearinghouses) and Business Associates (such as those entities that provide services to covered entities). HIPAA requirements are set across three separate rules: Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. 蜜豆视频 acts as a Business Associate for certain products, which 蜜豆视频 classifies as 鈥淗IPAA-Ready Services.鈥 Data regulated under HIPAA is referred to as Protected Health Information or PHI. PHI is a subset of health information that (1) is created or received by a healthcare provider, health plan, or healthcare clearinghouse, (2) relates to the past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition of an individual, the provision of healthcare to an individual, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of healthcare to an individual, and (3) identifies the individual or with respect to which there is a reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify the individual. The HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules require that a Covered Entity obtain written assurances from a Business Associate in the form of a Business Associate Agreement, or BAA, requiring the Business Associate to safeguard the privacy and security of the Covered Entity始s PHI.

Audit Logging is a HIPAA requirement. In 蜜豆视频 Commerce, the Action Logs feature records every change made by an Admin user who works in your store. To meet HIPAA requirements for the Audit Log, the feature has been updated to record all Admin user and customer actions performed through the Admin UI and through API calls.

Added two columns:
- Source: Displays where the action was performed.
Values:Admin UI
/Customer UI
/REST API
/SOAP API
/GraphQL API
- Client Type: Displays the client type.

- An Admin user edits a scheduled import
- An Admin user runs a scheduled import
- An Admin user deletes a scheduled import
- An Admin user executes a bulk delete of import/export operations

Import history (System > Data Transfer > Import History)
- Enabled filtering for all columns except for Imported File, Error File, Execution Time, and Summary.
Export (System > Data Transfer > Export)
- Added an ID column.
- Added a Requested At column (date and time when export was requested).
- Added a User column (username of an admin who did the request).
