We offer a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to all organizations, free of charge. Upon signing up for BloomText for the first time, you will receive a welcome email with a link to sign your BAA agreement.
Yes. BloomText encrypts all data in transit and at rest, includes a signed BAA on every plan, and logs all access to protected health information. We built BloomText for HIPAA compliance from day one.
BloomText encrypts all data in transit and at rest. Only a small team of HIPAA-trained employees can access protected health information (PHI), and our HIPAA Security Officer logs and audits every access. Non-PHI data like usernames and organization details has the same strict access controls and logging.
You can upgrade to a paid plan directly from within the BloomText app.
Monthly plans can be cancelled from within the BloomText app, or by sending an email to support@bloomtext.com. Annual plans are paid upfront; contact support for account-specific questions about cancelling during an annual term.
You can invite any healthcare professional to BloomText. This includes coworkers in your organization, but also includes other healthcare professionals in other organizations. Patients and clients do not need to be invited, as you communicate with them via SMS and email.
Your coworkers can safely use BloomText on their mobile devices. No data from BloomText is stored permanently on their devices. If a coworker leaves your organization, you can remove them from your organization, and they will no longer be able to access any files or messages.
Administrators can add and remove users, set access permissions, and audit any conversation. You can also message BloomText support directly from within the app.
