Think every cloud tool is automatically HIPAA compliant? Think again!
Myth: "All cloud services = HIPAA safe"
Fact: Only providers with a proper Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and security measures meet HIPAA rules. Before adopting a new cloud service, ask yourself:
• Does the vendor sign a BAA?
• Can they explain their security controls?
• Do you have an audit trail for ePHI?
Tips for healthcare teams:
1. Verify the BAA: never assume!
2. Request proof of data protection standards.
3. Keep a record of all vendor agreements for audits.
