Manage business associate agreement execution and tracking; automate reminders and signature workflows to ensure vendor compliance—all in one place.
Maintaining business associate agreements (BAAs) for all vendors can be a resource-intensive process, but they are crucial for HIPAA compliance. These legally binding contracts help ensure PHI remains secure as it moves between entities, and failure to address key OCR requirements can lead to significant penalties.
We provide a foundation for creating HIPAA-compliant BAAs and are here to help you assess and manage vendor risk with confidence. Medcurity makes creating compliant, standardized Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) an efficient, stress-free process.
Our AI-powered platform streamlines workflows and automates tasks like BAA execution and risk assessments. This improves efficiency and helps ensure your BAAs align with OCR regulations and adequately address all applicable requirements.
Fulfill the HIPAA Security Rule's requirement to implement appropriate administrative safeguards by streamlined, 100% electronic processes. This makes managing BAAs electronically more efficient and secure.
Standardize business associate agreements to reduce the risk of human error and ensure all applicable requirements are addressed and executed in compliance with current HIPAA requirements.
Demonstrate HIPAA compliance and reduce the risk of breaches traced back to vendors by ensuring all business associate agreements include specific provisions regarding PHI and meet OCR requirements.
Identify all vendors who have access to ePHI and ensure each has signed a business associate agreement, managing the entire process from one central location.
Choose from pre-built templates or upload and update your own.
Set scheduled intervals for review and e-signature push notifications. Get reminded when BAAs are signed or not returned on time.
Easily demonstrate vendor management practices with a centralized repository of BAAs with clear audit trails.
Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) and Security Risk Analyses (SRAs) are interconnected, required components of HIPAA compliance. SRAs provide a framework for evaluating the risks associated with vendor relationships and enable you to monitor the effectiveness of your BAAs.
Adapt to evolving threats and regulatory changes by assessing the performance of vendors in protecting PHI to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
