Healthcare software development company building to HIPAA from Sprint 1.
We build custom healthcare applications with HIPAA technical safeguards, HL7 FHIR integration, and EHR connectivity designed into the architecture before the first line of code. Never bolted on after launch.

Most healthcare software failures are not coding errors. They are architecture decisions made before anyone checked what HIPAA requires.
Check your current HIPAA posture. See exactly where your gaps are before you build.
This is the same checklist we run at project discovery. Check off what you already have in place and your compliance score updates in real time.
The four systems of custom software for healthcare that companies need built and compliant.
Patient portals are protected health information systems from the moment they store a name and date of birth. We design the authentication layer (Sign in with Apple or Google for consumer-facing portals, single sign-on for enterprise), implement minimum necessary PHI access per role, and build the audit trail that documents every record view.
FHIR integration requires understanding the resource model, handling pagination across large result sets, and implementing SMART on FHIR OAuth flows correctly. We have built FHIR integrations for healthcare applications and know where the edge cases are before your project encounters them.
Hospital websites and healthcare platforms must meet ADA WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, comply with healthcare content regulations, and handle appointment requests without storing PHI in the CMS itself. We built the custom CMS for Saratoga Hospital and understand the specific requirements of clinical web platforms.
Healthcare analytics requires de-identifying PHI before it reaches any analytics pipeline. HIPAA Safe Harbor de-identification removes or generalizes 18 specific identifiers. We implement de-identification at the data extraction layer so your business intelligence dashboards never contain identifiable patient data.
Saratoga Hospital healthcare software modernization: a custom HIPAA-compliant CMS replacing fragmented manual workflows.
Not every agency has healthcare software developers who have built inside HIPAA. The checklist to verify before you sign.
What healthcare CTOs and product leads ask before an engagement.
HIPAA technical safeguards require four things from your software architecture: access controls that restrict who can read or modify PHI, audit controls that log every access with a timestamp and user identifier, integrity controls that detect unauthorized PHI modification, and transmission security that encrypts PHI in transit. These must be designed into the data model, authentication system, and API layer from Sprint 1. An application rebuilt for HIPAA compliance after launch costs 5 to 10 times more than one designed for it from the start. Use the HIPAA Assessment above to identify your current gaps.
Yes. We integrate with Epic and Cerner via their FHIR R4 APIs and SMART on FHIR authorization framework. For older electronic health record systems that expose HL7 v2 interfaces, we build message parsers and translation layers for ADT, ORM, and ORU messages. We also integrate with Health Gorilla and other health data aggregators for multi-EHR access.
A Business Associate Agreement is a contract required by HIPAA whenever a covered entity shares PHI with a vendor that processes, stores, or transmits that data. As a software development company building systems that handle PHI, Redefine is a Business Associate under HIPAA. We execute a Business Associate Agreement before accessing any PHI, including sample or test data. Any development partner who declines to sign a Business Associate Agreement is operating outside HIPAA requirements.
A HIPAA-compliant patient portal with authentication, appointment scheduling, secure messaging, and basic health record access takes 16 to 22 weeks. A clinical workflow application with EHR integration, role-based access, and audit logging takes 20 to 28 weeks. A healthcare content management system like the one we built for Saratoga Hospital takes 10 to 14 weeks. We scope before we quote.
We built the custom HIPAA-compliant content management system for Saratoga Hospital, a major regional hospital network, replacing fragmented manual workflows with a centralized Laravel-based platform with full security and compliance implementation. We have also built enterprise-grade school management systems for the education sector covering enrollment data compliance and secure data handling.
