The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) on July 14 finalized its first in a series of HITECH-required guidance documents to educate covered entities and business associates (BA) on the best methods to secure electronic protected health information (ePHI).
The first guidance document focuses on risk analysis, a HIPAA Security Rule-required measure for covered entities and now BAs.
OCR issued a draft guidance document in May. The final guidance document is available on the OCR privacy website.
