Healthcare Software Development

Healthcare software that stays in range.

Custom patient portals, telehealth platforms, EHR integrations and scheduling systems — built to the HIPAA Security Rule from day one, not patched in before launch.

What gets built

Five systems most healthcare teams need

Patient portalsRecords, messaging, results, appointment history
Self-serve access to records and secure messaging with staff, without exposing PHI outside encrypted channels.
Telehealth platformsVideo consults, e-prescriptions, follow-up flows
Encrypted video, session recording controls, and consult notes that flow straight into the patient record.
EHR & lab integrationsHL7, FHIR, and vendor REST APIs
Two-way sync with existing EHR and lab systems so staff aren't re-entering the same data twice.
Scheduling & intakeBooking, forms, insurance capture
Multi-provider booking with digital intake forms that replace the clipboard without losing the data.
Compliance dashboardsAccess logs, consent tracking, reporting
A single view of who accessed what, when — the artifact an auditor will ask for first.
Compliance, built in

Not a checklist added at the end

Compliance shapes the architecture before a line of code is written — that's what makes it hold up under an audit later.

\u00a7164.312 — Technical safeguardsEncryption at rest & in transit

AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, on infrastructure that offers its own BAA.

\u00a7164.308 — Administrative safeguardsAccess control by role

Least-privilege access mapped to job function, not shared logins.

Audit trailImmutable access logging

Every read and write to a patient record is logged and retained.

Vendor riskSigned BAA per integration

Every third-party service that touches PHI is vetted and under agreement.

How a project runs

Five stages, compliance checked at each one

Discovery & data mapping

What data you handle today, where it lives, and which systems need to talk to each other.

Architecture & compliance plan

Infrastructure, access model, and BAA paperwork settled before development starts.

Build

Weekly demos against a working environment, not a static prototype.

Compliance review & testing

Access-control review, encryption checks, and a security pass before go-live.

Launch & monitoring

Uptime monitoring and a maintenance plan so the system stays in range after handoff.

Questions worth asking before you start

Common questions

How much does healthcare software development cost?

Most projects fall into three bands. A focused tool — an intake form or a single EHR integration — is typically a few thousand dollars. A patient portal or scheduling system with full HIPAA-compliant infrastructure is a mid five-figure investment. A complete telehealth platform with video, billing, and multi-role access is the largest build. The number of integrations and whether a SOC 2 audit is in scope move the price most.

What makes software HIPAA-compliant?

It's a mix of technical safeguards (encryption, access control, audit logging), administrative safeguards (a signed BAA with every vendor touching PHI), and physical safeguards on the hosting environment. There's no single "HIPAA certificate" — compliance is demonstrated through how the system is built and documented.

How long does a telehealth platform take to build?

A focused MVP — video consults, scheduling, basic records — typically takes eight to twelve weeks. EHR integration, insurance billing, or multi-clinic support add time, since each integration needs its own compliance review.

Do you sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?

Yes, on every project that stores, processes, or transmits PHI, before development starts. Infrastructure is chosen from providers that offer their own BAA, such as AWS or Google Cloud.

Can you integrate with our existing EHR?

Usually, yes — through HL7, FHIR, or a vendor's REST API where one exists. Scope gets confirmed after reviewing your current EHR's API documentation and data model.
