Today, we are excited to announce that EMR Studio is now Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) eligible, and is Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) certified. You can now use EMR Studio to run sensitive healthcare workloads regulated by HIPAA and HITRUST.
HIPAA eligibility and HITRUST certification applies to all AWS Regions where Amazon EMR Studio is available. EMR Studio is available in US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, London, and Stockholm), and Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo) regions.
