BoardEffect, a Diligent company, was designed for the work of efficient and collaborative boards to enable effective leaders. Healthcare executives and trustees have long relied on BoardEffect to improve board management and streamline secure communications. Healthcare experiences twice the number of cyber attacks as other industries; in 2017 alone, the number of incidents increased by 210%, and 5.6 million patient records were affected. The stakes are high for protecting your board’s sensitive information. BoardEffect’s client base is comprised of healthcare organizations ranging from small local hospitals with basic board structures, to national hospital systems and networks with complex needs.
By putting compliance, reporting, strategic planning, meeting management and more in one secure place, BoardEffect streamlines governance. Backed by over a decade of experience, our board portal solution empowers healthcare organizations to better manage board operations while providing cost-effective scales to accommodate the mergers, acquisitions and evolving requirements of the future.

When Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) are stolen, they remain with a person forever and the theft is much more difficult to resolve. Since many board portals are used to store PHI, it is particularly important for boards to ensure compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

BoardEffect’s board portal software goes beyond the required controls for HIPAA compliance, such as implementing data encryption, allowing healthcare organizations to align the platform with their unique technical, legal and regulatory requirements. BoardEffect even signs Business Associate Agreements required by HIPAA, setting itself apart from other board portal providers.
