A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is a contract that describes how a vendor will protect ePHI and meet relevant HIPAA obligations when acting as a business associate.
Practical tips
- Inventory vendors that can access ePHI
- Do not assume a logo means “HIPAA compliant for free”
- Align technical configuration with what the BAA assumes
- Offboard vendor access when relationships end
