Frequently Asked Questions: All You Need to Know

A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is a contract between a HIPAA-covered entity and a vendor that will have access to protected health information (PHI). It is necessary for HIPAA compliance to ensure that PHI is handled securely and in accordance with HIPAA regulations.

No, encryption and AWS hosting alone cannot ensure HIPAA compliance without signing a BAA. A BAA is required when a vendor has potential access to PHI, regardless of the security measures in place.

Healthcare clients can ensure their data is secure and private by opting for a self-hosted version of the collaboration tool, which allows for greater isolation and control over the data. Additionally, using private encryption keys for each client and ensuring the underlying storage (e.g., Wasabi, AWS, Azure) is secure are also recommended practices.

Yes, under HIPAA, it's necessary to document all practices and have them ready for government audit. This includes ensuring that the whole practices are documented, not just specific instances of data handling or support sessions.

The tool is designed to ensure efforts are made towards compliance without necessarily asking for specifics of proprietary information. It can be adjusted to meet the intent of the document while ensuring compliance.

The server requirements for hosting a HIPAA-compliant collaboration tool include having a server with at least four virtual CPUs, 16 GB of RAM, and 100 GB of hard disk space. The server should run on Windows Server 2019 or 2022.

Documents are fairly flexible. If there's a need for in-house counsel to make a statement or to pass documents back and forth in a red line, that's possible. The tools are designed to accommodate specific requirements while maintaining compliance.

Using cloud storage like Wasabi for PHI can be HIPAA compliant if the cloud service agrees to sign a BAA and has appropriate security measures in place. Cost-effectiveness and the absence of egress fees make Wasabi an attractive option, but compliance and security should not be compromised.
