Introduction:<\/h2>\n

A Business Associate Agreement (BAA), is a written arrangement that specifies each party\u2019s responsibilities when it comes to PHI.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The HIPAA Privacy Rule requires all covered entities (CEs) to have a signed BAA with any Business Associate (BA) they hire that may come in contact with PHI.<\/p>\n

According to HHS, a BAA must include the following information:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Description of the permitted and required use of PHI by the BA.<\/li>\n
  • Provide specific requirements regarding how and when the BA will not use or further disclose PHI.<\/li>\n
  • Outline requirements for the BA to use appropriate safeguards to prevent inappropriate PHI use or disclosure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This checklist will guide you through the process of creating and implementing a BAA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As a covered entity, you will need to work in tandem with the BA to complete the agreement. This need for collaboration has been taken into account<\/strong> as the approval tasks require approval from both the CE and BA.<\/p>\n

    This means that you can efficiently move through the process knowing that there will not be any disagreements or disruptions when it comes time to confirm and implement the agreement.<\/p>\n
