Forward(Recorded Webinar) Breaches by Business Associates
As a HIPAA covered entity, your health center thought it had protected itself when disclosing protected health information (PHI) to a vendor (business associate) by executing a business associate agreement (BAA) with all the HIPAA required provisions. Everything seemed to be going fine…until the business associate experienced a breach. Maybe your health center knew immediately because access to the systems or services provided by the business associate stopped or slowed. Maybe the business associate notified your health center of a “potential security incident” it is investigating. Or maybe the business associate informed your health center that the investigation is complete and your health center’s PHI was impacted.
Given the increased number in cybersecurity attacks and the growing reliance on business associates to provide functions, activities and services for health centers, this webinar will prepare health centers to respond when a business associate reports a breach. The presentation will cover determining whether the health center or the business associate should make the breach-related HIPAA notifications, whether to notify the health center’s cybersecurity insurance carrier, and whether the health center should continue to contract with the business associate after a breach. The presentation will also include guidance on BAA provisions that can protect health centers should their business associate experience a breach.
