The Fine Print of Convenience: What TSA PreCheck Can Teach Us About Healthcare Compliance
TSA PreCheck and Global Entry are often seen as no-brainers. Skip the long security lines, breeze through customs, and travel with ease. But recently, headlines have sparked debate over what people are really agreeing to when they sign up for these programs.
Here’s what you actually consent to:
• Full biometric capture
• Daily background monitoring
• Long-term data sharing with agencies like DHS and the FBI
It is fast and efficient, but it comes at a price — your privacy
This trade-off reflects a broader truth in today’s digital world. Convenience often requires trust, and trust requires transparency.
In healthcare, though, this trade-off does not have to exist.
At Hexlit, we work with providers to implement Salesforce Health Cloud in a way that ensures compliance is not a burden. It is a benefit.
Whether it is HIPAA, consent management, audit logging, or role-based access, the systems we build are rooted in transparency, control, and flexibility. We focus on secure access, thoughtful data architecture, and scalable Experience Sites that enable patients and care teams to work confidently in the system.
Because trust in healthcare is not optional. It is everything.
You should not need a lawyer to understand how your data is protected, just like your patients should not have to wonder how their records are handled.
The TSA conversation is trending for a reason. It is an important reminder.
But unlike travel, healthcare does not need to trade privacy for performance. With the right partner, you can have both.
