Data Flow Mapping
Understanding how Protected Health Information (PHI) moves through your organization is a foundational requirement of HIPAA compliance. Accountable's Data Flow Mapping uses AI to automatically map the flow of PHI across your systems, people, and vendors — making it effortless to visualize, document, and maintain an accurate picture of your data landscape.
What is Data Flow Mapping?
Data Flow Mapping is the process of identifying and documenting how PHI enters, moves through, and exits your organization. It covers the systems that store data, the people who access it, and the vendors who process it. HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to understand where PHI lives — but building these maps manually is time-consuming and error-prone.
