Security and access

Business associate agreement (BAA)

A contract between a covered entity and a vendor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information on the covered entity’s behalf.

Definition

When clinic software processes PHI, practices typically need appropriate business associate terms reviewed with counsel. Subprocessors (email, SMS, video, payments) may also sit in the vendor chain.

A BAA is a legal instrument — not a substitute for product access controls, training, or risk analysis.
