HIPAA Compliance in Mixed Jira Instance

Andy Chlup

Hello Everybody,

We are preparing to launch a new Electronic Health Record system and need a HIPAA-compliant service desk.

We currently use Jira Service Desk for IT, HR, Communications, and Facilities, so staying with Jira seems like a no-brainer.

It is unclear whether we can tag certain sites with a PHI tag or if it is product-wide. If it is product-wide setting, then I think we'd need a separate instance for HIPAA-related items.

What are your thoughts or experiences?

Hi Andrew, I found some information from Atlassian regarding HIPAA.

I know they refer to tagging products and other steps.  I'd check out these articles.

Hope that helps.
