| Consider all elements of HIPAA agreement life cycle |
| There was probably a time a few years ago when you asked your staff members to provide copies of every current contract with third parties. HIPAA required you to examine each contract to determine whether the third parties with whom you worked required access to your protected health information (PHI).
Those that did require access became known as business associates (BA). You signed BA agreements with them to ensure that you were protecting your PHI, and you were HIPAA compliant-for about five minutes. |
