Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Sphere EHR supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), a layered sign-in process in which users supply a second credential in addition to their password. Requiring more than one factor helps keep accounts protected even if a password is leaked or stolen.
Electronic Health Information (EHI) Export
Sphere EHR supports export of Electronic Health Information (EHI) for both individual patients and entire patient populations. Step-by-step instructions, the export format, and the data scope are documented on our EHI Export guide.
Types of Costs
These are the types of costs a customer may be required to pay to implement or use the certified capabilities of Sphere EHR. Amounts are set in each customer's written agreement with Sphere Technology.
- Subscription: A recurring Sphere EHR subscription fee. It covers all five certified capabilities listed above.
- Implementation: A one-time onboarding fee, quoted in writing before signing.
- Certified capabilities: No additional fee for EHI export, multi-factor authentication, credential encryption, quality management or accessibility.
- Third-party products or services: None are required to use the certified capabilities, other than a web browser, an internet connection and, for multi-factor sign-in, either a mobile phone that can receive text messages or a free authenticator app.
Contractual Considerations
- Use of Sphere EHR is governed by a written agreement with Sphere Technology and a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
- There is no additional fee for exporting EHI, during or after the term of the agreement.
- Sphere Technology does not restrict customers from communicating about their experience with Sphere EHR, including safety and usability concerns.
Technical Considerations
- Sphere EHR runs in a web browser and requires an internet connection. Connections use TLS 1.2 or higher.
- Electronic health information is encrypted in transit and at rest.
