Summary

Couchbase has successfully completed an independent review for HIPAA compliance, enhancing its security compliance efforts, particularly with its database-as-a-service offering, Couchbase Capella. HIPAA, the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, mandates the secure handling of protected health information (PHI), and Capella is now ready to support applications that must meet these requirements, provided customers enter into a Business Associate Agreement with Couchbase and configure appropriate security settings. While Couchbase aids organizations in meeting HIPAA obligations, it remains the responsibility of each organization to ensure full compliance. Many leading healthcare organizations trust Couchbase for its performance, flexibility, and reliability in various applications, such as streamlining patient data, supporting clinical research, and enhancing remote healthcare services. Capella offers high availability, flexibility through its JSON document data model and SQL++ query language, offline-first mobile technology, leading performance with memory-first architecture, scalability, and robust security features, making it a fitting choice for healthcare applications.
