Institutional data agreements
Vancomyzer calculations run on a server. Clinical values and sample times are transmitted to that server; calculation history may be stored for signed-in users whose plan includes it. The absence of names does not automatically make these data anonymous.
Do not enter protected health information into the public calculator. Institutional patient-data processing requires review of the actual workflow, hosting, access controls, retention and applicable contracts before use.
Review before institutional use
Whether a Business Associate Agreement or another data agreement is needed depends on the institution, data and services. A subscription, this page, or a request for an agreement does not authorize PHI processing or establish HIPAA compliance. Any agreement must be reviewed and executed for the specific service setup before that use begins.
Research
Independent validation requires institutional ethics, privacy and security approval as applicable. The planned research workflow uses a separate calculator that runs locally and has a fixed version; patient records should not be submitted through the public calculator for a study.
Previous software releases recorded clinical values in operational and diagnostic logs. Historical records and backups require a separate retention review. No claim is made here that historical records have been deleted.
