How do I enforce minimum necessary PHI disclosure across agency roles?
Configure granular permission roles for recruiters, dispatchers, and billing specialists to enforce HIPAA "Minimum Necessary" data standards.
To configure HIPAA-compliant RBAC in YourMedSoft, navigate to Admin > Roles & Permissions, create or edit a role (e.g., Recruiter, Dispatcher, Billing Specialist), and toggle specific permissions. This restricts recruiters from seeing billing margins and billing staff from viewing sensitive clinical records.
