Nexus Feature Preview: Signals for HIPAA-Compliant Tracking

Healthcare marketers have long faced an impossible choice: leverage powerful advertising tools like Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) for conversion tracking or maintain strict HIPAA compliance. Traditional tracking methods risk exposing Protected Health Information (PHI), forcing many healthcare organizations to either abandon conversion tracking entirely or rely on incomplete, unreliable data.

Nexus Signals eliminates this trade-off. For the first time, healthcare marketers can safely track conversions, optimize ad spend, and measure ROI—without compromising patient privacy.

The Problem: Marketing Analytics vs. HIPAA Compliance

Digital advertising thrives on data. The ability to track which ads lead to patient inquiries, appointment requests, or service sign-ups is critical for optimizing marketing spend and improving campaign performance. However, standard ad tracking methods collect user data in ways that may violate HIPAA regulations, exposing healthcare organizations to legal and financial risk.

As a result, many healthcare teams have been forced to:

• Turn off conversion tracking entirely, losing visibility into marketing performance.
• Rely on incomplete data, leading to inaccurate decisions and wasted budgets.
• Manually collect conversion data, a time-consuming and error-prone process.

Signals solves this by providing a HIPAA-compliant way to track conversions and send clean, secure data to ad platforms—without exposing PHI.

How Signals Works

Signals acts as a privacy-first bridge between Nexus and advertising platforms, ensuring that all conversion tracking follows strict HIPAA compliance protocols. Here’s how:

2. Configuration:
   

   • Google Ads & Meta: Use the streamlined setup process.
   • Webhooks: Define endpoint URLs, authentication, and payload mapping.

3. Data Processing & Protection:
   

   • When a conversion event occurs, Signals automatically processes it in real-time.
   • PHI detection & filtering: Any potential PHI is stripped before data is sent.
   • Secure transformation: Conversion data is structured to match each platform’s requirements while maintaining compliance.

4. Delivery & Analytics:

   • Marketers gain real insights into ad performance while keeping patient data safe.
