Covered Entities Responsible Vicariously for HIPAA Violations by Their Business Associates

Another day another article by a prominent healtchare law firm warning covered entities that they need to make sure that their business associates are “adhering to the new requirements”. Covered entities must have an active program for monitoring their business associates and ensuring that they are protecting the PHI entrusted to them.

BA Tracker is a cost effective, efficient method that also helps the business associate by showing them where they are deficient, helping them remediate their deficienies and allow them to prove to their covered entities that they are compliant. Take a look at www.compliancehelper.com/batracker and then give me a call or email me for a live on-line demonstration.
