The hipaa_compliant flag in the Vocode outbound calls API configures the system to not persist any potentially sensitive information. Turning on the flag makes the API supportable for use-cases requiring HIPAA compliance.

In particular, turning on the flag:

  • Redacts the content of the prompt on the calls resource
  • Prevents the transcript from being written to the calls resource
  • Configures the call not to be recorded
