Quick decision matrix:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Solo practitioner or small clinic with basic needs: browser-based tools like Doxy.me<\/li>\n
  • Mid-size practice needing EHR integration: SimplePractice, Jane, or eVisit<\/li>\n
  • Regulated enterprise, government, or hospital requiring full data control: TrueConf Server (on-premise)<\/li>\n
  • Telehealth startup building a custom branded platform: TrueConf API<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Unique insight #1<\/b><\/p>\n

    Most telehealth compliance guides focus on HIPAA feature checklists. But there is a more fundamental distinction: platforms that sign a BAA still process PHI on their own cloud infrastructure, creating shared-custody risk.<\/p>\n

    With a fully on-premise deployment like TrueConf Server, patient data never leaves your network at all. This eliminates the grey area of BAA interpretation entirely, which is especially relevant for EU healthcare organizations under GDPR or government-sector healthcare providers with strict data sovereignty mandates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
