HIPAA Business Associate/Identity Theft Prevention Agreement

[Steven Bourdon <sbourdon () SOUTHTEXASCOLLEGE EDU>]

Hello All,

 

I just received an agreement from a local hospital requesting we sign as
a "business associate" under HIPAA and "service provider" for FTC Red
Flag Rules.   Other than a nursing program with student clinical
rotations performed at local hospitals we don't deal with protected
health information on campus.  This is a new area for me so I'm curious
if others have signed similar agreements for their health programs with
local health providers for student clinical activities.    

 

Thanks,
