HIPAA has strict standards for the privacy and confidentiality of patient information. When using computers, networks, and mobile devices for PHI, all access and management must follow HIPAA regulations. Additionally, every employee must receive regular HIPAA training. Teamviewer’s security and privacy practices appear to meet HIPAA standards.
Before using Teamviewer with PHI, you must get a signed BAA from the company. Submit an inquiry to Teamviewer customer service for assistance in obtaining the BAA. A signed BAA might be available only for organizations that meet a specific spending threshold.
