HIPAA Privacy & Security for Business Associates
Business associates face the same HIPAA compliance responsibilities as covered entities—yet many don’t realize it. The HITECH Act made business associates directly liable for Privacy and Security Rule violations, but confusion persists. Vendors often believe HIPAA is “the healthcare provider’s problem” or that Business Associate Agreements shield them from liability.
The Office for Civil Rights has levied multi-million dollar penalties against business associates for inadequate encryption, missing risk analyses, improper PHI disposal, and unauthorized access. Business associates handle vast amounts of Protected Health Information through billing systems, cloud storage, transcription services, IT support, and data analytics. Without proper training, employees don’t understand what constitutes PHI, when they can disclose it, how to secure it, or what to do when breaches occur.
This comprehensive course provides business associate workforce members with complete HIPAA compliance knowledge, including direct obligations under the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules.
