UT Health Austin has also enabled secure waiting room features, access control features, and transport encryption to ensure UT Health Austin and Zoom also have a Business Associate Agreement, an agreement required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), to ensure appropriate privacy standards are followed to protect patients' health information. The virtual visit instance includes secure video, audio, and content sharing which uses high-level encryption technology (AES 256 encryption) to ensure connections between our health care providers and our patients. Unlike the free and basic versions of Zoom, UT Health Austin uses a secured instance of Zoom intended to provide telehealth services that contain additional security controls. It’s important to understand the Zoom teleconferencing platform has multiple different instances with specific levels of security for each instance. We currently use Zoom as our virtual visit platform. UT Health Austin takes patient privacy seriously.
