EHR automation with HIPAA & SOC 2 built in

IHS Flow agents take on the administrative work inside your EHR and practice management system — from the first call to the final payment — under a BAA, on infrastructure we own, with a full audit trail.

Built for HIPAA from the first line

BAA Included

IHS signs a Business Associate Agreement with every healthcare client before PHI is processed.

Data Stays With IHS

Agents, databases and browser sessions run on IHS-owned racks in Houston and Dallas.

Minimum Necessary

Agents get only the access each workflow needs; PHI is kept out of email and alerts by default.

Full Audit Trail

Every read, write, call and message is logged with who, what, when and why.

Human Oversight

Assisted mode, approval gates and escalation rules for anything clinical or unusual.

SOC 2 Type II Controls

The same audited controls IHS operates for its managed IT and hosting clients.

FAQ

EHR automation questions

Which EHRs do you work with?
We integrate through HL7 FHIR R4 and vendor APIs where they exist (for example eClinicalWorks and athenahealth), and use secure browser automation for systems or tasks without an API. During the free analysis we confirm the exact method for your EHR and each workflow.
Is patient data safe with AI?
Yes. IHS signs a Business Associate Agreement, agents run on IHS-owned infrastructure in Houston and Dallas under HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II controls, and we only use AI model providers under BAA terms for PHI workloads. Access is least-privilege and every action is audit-logged.
Will the AI make clinical decisions?
No. IHS Flow automates administrative and revenue-cycle work. Anything clinical — refills, triage outcomes, medical-necessity judgments — is prepared by the agent and routed to licensed staff for decision.
Do we need to change our EHR or workflows?
No. Agents work inside the systems you already use, following your SOPs. We document each workflow with your team before anything is automated.
How do you prevent errors?
Each workflow starts in Assisted mode with human approval, is measured against a quality score, and only moves to full automation when it consistently meets the target you set. Exceptions are always escalated to a person.
