How HippHealth Secures Patient Data with Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA)

HippHealth, an AI-powered platform for Applied Behavior Analysis professionals, faced the challenge of securing sensitive patient data while ensuring HIPAA compliance and efficient authorization across various user roles within the healthcare industry. To address this, HippHealth opted for Permit.io's Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) solution, which allowed for flexible, scalable, and compliant access control without diverting extensive engineering resources to build a custom system. This decision enabled HippHealth to implement a robust, multi-tenant authorization framework that supported different healthcare practices with ease, allowing non-technical users to manage permissions through a no-code UI. By outsourcing their authorization needs, HippHealth was able to maintain a strong security posture, adapt to regulatory changes, and focus on scaling their platform and innovating their product, ultimately positioning themselves as a reliable and scalable solution in the highly regulated healthcare sector.
