About this list

Questions

Does a HIPAA reference establish that the service fits our needs?
No. Evaluate the purchased service, data flows and agreements. Confirm that the provider’s responsibilities match your environment and compliance program.
How should response work around clinical systems?
Agree critical-system exclusions and approval routes with clinical and IT owners. Ask the provider to demonstrate how an urgent incident is escalated without bypassing those rules.
