Phreesia is a company built on your trust
Phreesia is a company built on your trust. We take security very seriously and have built our systems to meet and exceed the strict security requirements of the Healthcare and Financial Services industries to ensure our users are protected. A combination of Federal guidelines and corporate policies ensures that all patient-related health and financial information is protected by the most stringent administrative, technical and physical safeguards.
Data collection is done strictly to support our customers' workflow and clinical needs. Phreesia's data-use policy is in strict accordance with Federal Laws and HIPAA Regulations. Under HIPAA, Phreesia is classified as a business associate, which is defined as an individual or corporate "person" that is not a member of the covered entity's workforce and performs (on behalf of the covered entity, i.e. the practice) any function or activity involving the use or disclosure of protected health information (PHI). Phreesia complies with all HIPAA standards under the federal Privacy and Security Rules.
