Map a feature to the data that must not leak into logs, prompts, or vendors.
Healthcare teams list a feature and the data it touches. The mapper flags minimum-necessary pressure. Not legal advice. Not an EHR.
Features ship; minimum necessary is an afterthought
A dashboard tile, an AI summary, a vendor copilot, or a Segment event can all see more PHI than the job requires. Engineering and compliance argue from different lists. This mapper forces one list: feature, data classes, then logs / prompts / analytics / subprocessors — with a quiet reminder that it is not legal advice.
Who this is for
- Healthcare product and engineering leads adding a feature that might touch PHI.
- Compliance partners who need a one-pager before a design review, not after production logs already have MRNs.
- Teams pairing software delivery with Maxiom Labs for dedicated HealthTech work.
What you get
- A one-pager: feature, data classes, and flags for logs, prompts, analytics, and vendors.
- Plain-language pressure, not a fake HIPAA certification.
- A pointer to compliance engineering when the control has to live in the product.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HIPAA minimum-necessary mapper?
A feature-level worksheet. You name a product feature and the data it touches. The tool flags what must stay out of logs, prompts, analytics, and vendor subprocessors. Export a one-pager for engineering and compliance to argue from the same list.
Is this legal advice or an EHR?
Neither. It is a mapping aid for product and engineering teams. It is not legal advice, not a HIPAA designation, and not an electronic health record. Counsel and your privacy officer still own the determination.
Do I upload patient data?
No. Describe categories (MRN, diagnoses, claims) — never paste real records, exports, or production logs. Client data stays in your environment.
Who is this for?
Healthcare product, engineering, and compliance leads designing a feature that might see PHI. Payers, providers, and HealthTech teams that already know they are not building a new EHR on this page.
How does this relate to Maxiom Labs?
Maxiom Labs is the dedicated HealthTech practice (maxiomlabs.com). This mapper lives on Maxiom Technology as a self-serve worksheet. Clinical product engineering still belongs with Labs when you are past a one-pager.
What about FHIR and interoperability?
Minimum necessary still applies when a SMART on FHIR app requests scopes. Pair this mapper with Healthcare IT and HIPAA software development when the feature is an API, not a screenshot.
Can AI coding tools see this data?
If a prompt, Copilot/Cursor index, or analytics pipeline can see PHI, treat that as a disclosure unless a BAA and minimum-necessary design say otherwise. The mapper will flag prompts explicitly.
Why a work email?
Same gate as the other Resources tools. Unlock, map, export. No patient file leaves the browser because none is collected.
What if we need controls in the product, not a worksheet?
That is compliance engineering — encryption, access, audit logging, and retention in the build, not a PDF in a shared drive.
