Map data to the service step
Begin with the public patient journey and name which system receives data at intake, scheduling, consultation, communication, payment, and follow-up. Then identify storage, encryption, access, logs, backup, vendor transfer, and deletion responsibility for each step.
Embirwell's how-it-works page offers a concrete process to map. Its public HIPAA information describes the company's stated scope and should be reviewed as a primary source rather than substituted for technical evidence.
- Patient-facing step
- System and vendor
- Access boundary
- Backup and deletion owner
Test shared failure paths
Redundant compute does not help if identity, DNS, keys, queues, or one external clinical system remains a shared dependency. Include support and incident communication in the recovery design.
Use synthetic records approved for testing. Confirm that logs and alerts remain useful without exposing health details to systems or staff that do not need them.
