🔒 HIPAA Compliance for Chicago Healthcare Apps
HIPAA defines the federal baseline for protecting patient health data. Every Chicago health app we develop at Taction Software is designed to be 100% compliant with:
- Privacy Rule – Who can see or share patient data

- Breach Notification Rule – Prompt reporting following a data breach

📍 HITECH Act Compliance for Chicago Healthcare Apps
HITECH extends HIPAA to address electronic health records (EHR) and data breach accountability. At Taction Software, we develop every Chicago’s healthcare app to HITECH standards, including:
- Automated breach alerts and response workflows
- Default encryption and audit logging
- Third-party API & EHR integration compliance checks
We design our solutions to be breach-ready and built from the backend to frontend for security, so Chicago’s hospitals, provider networks, and healthtech innovators can exceed every regulation requirement with confidence.

Illinois has some of the most stringent standards in the country for the safeguarding of personal information with BIPA and PIPA, respectively Biometric Information Privacy Act and Personal Information Protection Act. Every healthcare application we develop for Chicago area clients at Taction Software is compliant with state law including:
- BIPA: Written consent prior to the collection of biometric identifiers (fingerprints, facial recognition, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
HIPAA-Compliant App Development Questions in Chicago? We’ve Got Answers.
Healthcare organizations throughout Chicago, Naperville, Springfield, and Peoria trust Taction Software for expert advice on HIPAA, HITECH, and the state of Illinois’ privacy laws, such as BIPA.
Whether you’re developing a telehealth platform or a custom mHealth app, compliance isn’t an add-on—it’s a built-in requirement.
Here are the most common questions we get from Illinois-based hospitals, healthtech startups, and provider networks, answered by our own healthcare compliance experts who are well versed in federal and Illinois-specific data protection regulations.
Yes. HIPAA covers Protected Health Information (PHI), while BIPA (Biometric Information Privacy Act) regulates biometric data like fingerprints or facial recognition—both are required for most Illinois-based apps.
Compliance includes encryption (in transit and at rest), secure authentication, role-based access, audit logs, and documented breach protocols. We build these into every app from day one.
HIPAA sets the privacy standards; HITECH enhances them by enforcing stronger EHR protection and imposing penalties for breaches. Our solutions follow both—ensuring you’re covered.
Illinois’ Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) requires prompt notification—generally within 45 days. We include automated workflows to handle this efficiently.
Yes. We specialize in integrating with major EHRs (Epic, Cerner, AthenaHealth) using HL7 and FHIR APIs while maintaining full HIPAA and Illinois law compliance.
