Security & Compliance

Secure by Design

No PHI. No EHR integration. No complexity. Waitline delivers transparency without the security headaches of traditional healthcare software.

Key Point: The transparency board and widget workflow requires zero PHI. We complement your EHR — we don't replace or connect to it.

Easy Integration

Deploy in Days, Not Months

Because we don't touch your EHR or clinical systems, there's nothing to integrate. Just embed and go.

Zero EHR Integration

Waitline operates completely independently from your clinical systems. No HL7, no FHIR, no API connections to Epic, Cerner, or any EHR.

No Data Migration

Nothing to extract from your existing systems. Staff simply update a dashboard — no patient data ever flows to Waitline.

Minimal IT Involvement

Embed an iframe on your website, point lobby TVs to a URL. That's it. No server configuration, no network changes.

Works With Everything

Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH, Allscripts, athenahealth — doesn't matter. Waitline is a standalone layer that complements any system.

How Waitline Complements Your EHR

A completely separate layer that runs alongside — never inside — your clinical systems.

Security Features

Built-in Protection

No PHI Collection

Waitline never collects, stores, or displays Protected Health Information. Our transparency board and widget workflow operates entirely without patient identifiers.

HIPAA-Safe by Design

No PHI required, and pilot mode runs without EHR connectivity. By deliberately avoiding PHI, Waitline sidesteps the complexity of HIPAA compliance for covered data.

Full Audit Trail

Every admin action is logged with timestamp, user, and change details. Complete accountability for compliance and operational review.

Secure Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade cloud hosting with encryption at rest and in transit. SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure providers.

Data Isolation

Each facility's data is logically isolated. Multi-tenant architecture with strict access controls prevents cross-contamination.

Access Controls

Role-based permissions ensure only authorized staff can update status. Session management and secure authentication built in.

Encryption at Rest (AES-256)
Encryption in Transit (TLS 1.3)
No PHI Collection/Storage
Role-Based Access Controls
