# The business side of health care, on the record.

Keep sensitive communications controlled and reviewable.

Give operations, privacy and review teams a place to find business conversations and understand what happened. Start by scoping which conversations are in play and whether they touch protected health information.

## Find the conversation behind the decision

An agreement with a supplier. A staffing discussion. A question about a vendor’s conduct. The conversations behind these decisions can be scattered across email, messaging, calls and shared files. Finding them should not depend on knowing whose inbox to ask for.

Comma brings captured business communications into a searchable archive, with policy review and investigation workflows alongside the record. Your authorized teams can find the conversation, review it in context and organize the relevant evidence.

## Choose the conversations your team needs to manage

Capture scope is set by source. Select supported content types and identify who needs access before connecting a service. A phone integration, for example, may include calls, available recordings, voicemail and fax, each with different information risks.

[Configuration and controls](/configuration-and-controls) brings source settings, reviewers and access into that discussion. Review recordings, transcripts, attachments and message previews as well as the main conversation.

## Set the conditions for sensitive information before rollout

Administrative conversations can still contain protected health information. Confirm the required business associate agreement, permitted data flows and safeguards with your privacy, security and legal teams before introducing it. Include connected channels, recording and transcription services in that review.

[HHS guidance on cloud computing](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/health-information-technology/cloud-computing/index.html) explains the business associate agreement and risk analysis considerations for cloud services handling electronic protected health information.

## Evaluate the workflow without patient information

[Explore a vendor-onboarding review in Timeline](/timeline#vendor-review). Follow the same operations lead and vendor contact across email, Teams, call activity and supporting documentation, using fictional business records.

Use sample conversations to see how the archive and review process fit your team. Bring a real operational question, such as a vendor review, and walk through finding the relevant records and assigning the next action.

1.  ### Define the scope

    List the business channels, types of information and teams involved. Separate the communications you want to archive from clinical record workflows.

2.  ### Set access responsibilities

    Identify administrators and reviewers, what each needs to see and who makes the decision when a communication is flagged.

3.  ### Review the data path

    Bring permitted locations for storage, processing, exports and backups, along with requirements for connected services.

4.  ### Walk through an investigation

    Use demonstration content to test the review process and discuss the evidence, recipients and outputs your team needs.

## Frequently asked questions

Does this replace our electronic health record system?

This page concerns business communications archiving and investigation workflows. Clinical record workflows and integrations would require a separate assessment of scope and suitability.

Can we begin an evaluation without patient information?

Yes. Use demonstration content and a documented channel inventory to evaluate the archive, review queues and case workflow before any decision about sensitive information.

What should we establish before introducing protected health information?

Confirm the required business associate agreement, permitted data flows and safeguards with your privacy, security and legal teams. Include the connected channels and processing services in that review.

## See how a business conversation becomes a reviewable record.

Bring your operations, privacy and security teams. We'll use sample content to walk through the archive, review controls and an investigation relevant to your organization.
