Key takeaways

As HealthHaven’s cloud footprint grew, HIPAA lived across policies, vendors, and controls—while evidence lived everywhere else.
SecureSlate connected day-to-day tools to a single HIPAA program hub: policies, risk analysis, BAAs, and proof.
The team reclaimed 50+ hours per week previously lost to manual evidence chase and spreadsheet upkeep.
Patient trust improved because safeguards became operational and demonstrable—not assumed.

Outcome	50+ hours/week saved; clearer posture; faster responses to requests

The business problem

HealthHaven delivers high-quality care while protecting patient information. Cloud tools for scheduling, communications, documents, and IT made care faster—and expanded responsibility for electronic protected health information (ePHI).

HIPAA is not a one-time project. When policies, vendor paperwork, and evidence live in different places, confidence erodes exactly when patients, partners, or auditors ask you to prove it.

“HIPAA isn’t something you ‘do once.’ We had policies in one place, vendor paperwork in another, and evidence scattered across tools. It was time-consuming—and it made it harder to feel confident we could prove our program when we needed to.”
— Edward, CEO, HealthHaven

Challenges

HealthHaven needed to:

Maintain a clear HIPAA baseline — policies, procedures, and documentation aligned to the Privacy and Security Rules.
Run and track risk analysis — identify risks to ePHI, assign owners, and document remediation over time.
Standardize vendor oversight — keep Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) and vendor risk reviews current.
Prove safeguards are operating — access controls, audit controls, training, and incident readiness without chasing screenshots.

They wanted one system that connected existing tooling to the HIPAA program so ownership and follow-through stayed consistent.

Solution

HealthHaven chose SecureSlate to centralize HIPAA workflows while integrating with systems already in use:

HIPAA-aligned policies and procedures — templates and guided workflows to define, assign, and review required documentation.
Risk analysis and remediation tracking — document risks to ePHI, map them to safeguards, and track corrective actions.
Vendor management and BAAs — centralized records for vendors that access ePHI, with review cadence and reminders.
Evidence collection and audit readiness — a single source of truth so safeguards are demonstrable, not assumed.

“We didn’t want a tool that created extra process. SecureSlate connected to the tools we already rely on, which made it easier to keep evidence current, assign owners, and stay on top of what HIPAA expects—without reinventing how we work.”
— Edward, CEO, HealthHaven

Leadership also gained reporting on what was done, in progress, or at risk—useful for internal oversight and external requests.
