ANNOUNCEMENT – HIPAA Business Associate Agreement
Electronic Network Systems, Inc. (ENS), in an effort to be pro-active
with HIPAA regulations, has developed an electronic HIPAA Business
Associate Agreement. A Business Associate Agreement is required
by the HIPAA regulations to ensure Protected Health Information
(PHI) remains confidential and secure. ENS has enlisted the services
of several HIPAA experts to develop this Business Associate Agreement.
The Business Associate agreement includes all the required HIPAA
provisions:
- Specify permitted uses and disclosures.
- Business Associate’s Obligations.
- Termination
A business associate agreement MUST be signed by both parties (ENS
and your Vendor / Provider office) by the HIPAA Privacy deadline
of April 2003. Electronically signing this business associates agreement
helps your office comply within the Confidentiality and Privacy
HIPAA regulations.
To complete your HIPAA Business Associate Agreement electronically
go to the ENS home page at www.ENShealth.com - News and Events section,
and follow these five simple steps:
- Read the brief introduction letter.
- Enter your ENS User ID and Primary Signing Authority Name into
the provided boxes and click “Go.”
- Read the HIPAA Business Agreement.
- Verify your Organization Name and Signing Authority Name.
- Click “I Agree”, the document will displayed on your desk top
for printing. SAVE YOUR COPY in a secure location. You will NOT
need to send a copy to ENS.
