Frequently asked questions
5 answers on file
Q01
What HIPAA-aligned controls does LIMS IQ provide?
LIMS IQ supports HIPAA-aligned operations with encryption of PHI in transit and at rest, role-based access, user-attributed audit logs, session and device controls, and compliance reporting. HIPAA compliance is a shared responsibility: the platform controls support the lab's safeguards, while the lab remains responsible for its policies, workforce practices, and access decisions.
Q02
How does role-based access control work?
Administrators assign permissions by role and can limit access by department or client. This keeps accessioning, result review, approval, release, billing, and administration actions available only to users whose assigned roles permit them.
Q03
What is captured in the audit log?
Audit logs record actions, edits, and approvals with timestamps and user identifiers. Result overrides and manual releases retain the user, time, and reason, while chain-of-custody records preserve specimen transfers and other lifecycle events for review.
Q04
Where is data hosted, and what about data residency?
Hosting architecture and data-residency requirements are deployment-specific. During procurement, ask the LIMS IQ team to document the proposed region, where production and recovery data reside, applicable geographic restrictions, and the agreement terms for your deployment.
Q05
How are user access reviews handled?
Use role assignments, user-attributed audit logs, and compliance reporting as evidence during periodic access reviews. The lab remains responsible for defining review frequency, confirming that each user still needs assigned access, and documenting account-management and offboarding decisions.
