HIPAA requests that we maintain a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with all parties where Protected Health Information (PHI) is shared.  This course will answer many of the frustrating questions that we are required to know. How much do they cost? What happens if I can not locate one? Don't I just need them to tell me they are "HIPAA Compliant"?  HITECH: asks that we stay diligent in technology and keep safeguards in place to protect data. With this in mind you may want additional protection for your practice by completing a Security Risk Assessment.  I will provide a SRA tool to quickly and effectively assess any potential risks and rectify them in your practice.
