Drupal for Healthcare

HIPAA-compliant, ADA-accessible Drupal websites for hospitals, health systems, clinics, and telehealth companies. We handle the complexity so your team can focus on patient care.

Healthcare Needs a Different CMS

Generic CMS platforms weren't designed for healthcare. They can't handle the regulatory complexity, the integrations with EHR systems like Epic and Cerner, or the strict accessibility requirements mandated for federally-funded health organizations.

Drupal for healthcare is different. Its granular access control, audit logging, enterprise content workflows, and robust API framework make it the CMS of choice for major hospital systems and health networks across the United States.

We've built HIPAA-compliant Drupal platforms for hospitals, multi-site health systems, specialty clinics, telehealth companies, and insurance providers. Our team understands the regulatory environment — not just the technology.

What We Build

  • HIPAA-compliant patient portals and scheduling systems
  • EHR integrations (Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, AthenaHealth)
  • Multi-location hospital and clinic websites
  • Provider directories with search and filters
  • ADA/WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance
  • Telehealth and digital health content platforms

Our Healthcare CMS Process

We treat every healthcare project as a regulatory and technical challenge — not just a website build.

1

Compliance Review

We map your HIPAA obligations, 508/ADA requirements, and data handling rules before writing a line of code.

2

Architecture

Secure infrastructure design — encrypted data at rest, role-based access, audit logging, and HIPAA BAA.

3

Build & Integrate

Drupal development with EHR API integrations, patient portal modules, and provider directory systems.

4

Security Audit

Third-party penetration testing, accessibility audit, and performance testing before go-live.

Why Healthcare Organizations Choose Drupal

Enterprise security, granular permissions, and API flexibility — Drupal was built for this.

HIPAA Compliance

Encrypted PHI handling, audit trails, and Business Associate Agreement (BAA) support built in.

Granular Access Control

Different roles for clinicians, admins, and patients — each seeing only what they're authorized to view.

EHR Integrations

ADA / Section 508

WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for federally-funded health systems and all patient-facing interfaces.

Multi-Location Support

Provider Directories

Searchable provider directories with specialty, location, insurance, and availability filters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Drupal HIPAA compliant?
Drupal itself is not inherently HIPAA compliant — no CMS is. HIPAA compliance is achieved through a combination of the platform, hosting environment, configuration, and operational policies. We configure Drupal with encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, role-based access controls, and deploy it on a HIPAA-eligible hosting environment. We also execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with your organization.
Can you integrate Drupal with Epic or Cerner?
Yes. We use HL7 FHIR APIs to connect Drupal with Epic and Cerner. Common integrations include patient appointment scheduling, patient portal authentication (SSO), provider directory sync, and real-time availability feeds. The exact integration scope depends on what APIs your EHR system exposes to third-party applications.
Can Drupal support multiple hospitals under one platform?
Absolutely. Drupal's multisite and multi-domain capabilities allow a single platform to power dozens or hundreds of affiliated hospital and clinic websites — each with its own branding, local editors, and content — all managed from a shared backend infrastructure. This dramatically reduces cost and improves content governance.
Do you build patient portals on Drupal?
Yes — from simple appointment request forms to full authenticated portals where patients can view records, message providers, and manage appointments. We use Drupal's headless API with a React frontend for the most complex portals. For smaller clinics, a traditional Drupal implementation with custom modules handles most portal requirements effectively.
Does Drupal meet ADA and Section 508 requirements for healthcare?
Yes. We build all healthcare sites to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which satisfies both ADA and Section 508 obligations. This includes proper heading structure, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, sufficient color contrast, and screen reader compatibility. We conduct accessibility audits and provide remediation reports before launch.
