What HIPAA asks of an e-signature workflow, and what to settle before using DocFila with patient data.
HIPAA does not prohibit electronic signatures — it just requires safeguards. Your e-signature workflow must control access, log who saw and signed each document, and prevent tampering.
DocFila encrypts documents at rest and in transit (AES-256 and TLS) and keeps a tamper-evident audit trail of who viewed and signed each document. DocFila does not currently sign Business Associate Agreements and does not claim HIPAA compliance: do not upload protected health information until a BAA and a review of your workload are in place.
DocFila does not ship patient-intake, telehealth-consent, notice-of-privacy-practices, advance-directive or surgical-consent templates. You can upload your own forms as PDFs and send them for signature.
For controlled-substance prescription paperwork, surgical consent, and any document that may be subpoenaed, the hash-chained audit trail records who opened the document, when, and from where — and the SHA-256 fingerprint shows whether the file has changed since it was signed.
Keep going with the document workflow that matches this page. Open the tool you need, then finish the file in DocFila.
