A HIPAA Business Associate Agreement establishes privacy and security obligations for handling protected health information. This playbook reviews compliance controls, breach notification, and indemnification provisions.
Why This Matters: Accurate warranties ensure accountability and provide remedies for breaches, reducing the likelihood of disputes over performance.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Covered Entity:
Ensure that warranties are specific to the healthcare standards and regulatory requirements. Negotiate for clear remedies in case of breaches.
If you're the Business Associate:
Limit the scope of warranties to what is commercially reasonable and ensure that warranty periods are clearly defined to manage liability.
