Mapping PHI Flows Across Clinical and Administrative Systems
A hospital network cannot produce an accurate map of where protected health information moves between its EHR, imaging, billing, and analytics systems.
Run on Drishti · Regulatory & Compliance
The challenge
Integrations have accumulated over fifteen years with no central record of what data each one carries.
Breach impact assessment is guesswork without knowing which systems hold which PHI.
Vendor risk reviews cannot be scoped without knowing what a vendor actually receives.
How Drishti solves it
Integration Discovery
Data flows between clinical, administrative, and analytics systems are discovered from live traffic and configuration rather than from documentation.
PHI Classification
Each flow is classified by the categories of protected information it actually carries.
Flow Mapping
A live map is maintained showing where PHI originates, moves, rests, and leaves the boundary.
Vendor Exposure Scoping
Third-party systems are scoped by the PHI they genuinely receive, sharpening vendor risk review.
Change Alerting
New or changed flows carrying PHI are flagged for review rather than discovered later.
The outcome
An accurate, maintained map of PHI movement rather than an outdated diagram.
Breach impact assessment scoped against known data flows.
Vendor risk reviews scoped by actual rather than assumed data sharing.
Representative scenario: a modelled industry situation showing how this accelerator applies. Figures are projections, not a named client result.
Capabilities used
Every accelerator is assembled from the same capability layer, so a workflow you adopt here shares its foundation with the rest of the portfolio.
