Protecting Patient Privacy and Data Security
At DocAug, protecting patient privacy and data security is central to how we operate. Our HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) establishes clear responsibilities for safeguarding Protected Health Information (PHI) when we provide services to covered entities.
We fully align with the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules, as well as the HITECH Act.
We implement administrative, technical, and physical protections to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI and ePHI.
We commit to timely notification and cooperation in the unlikely event of a breach of unsecured PHI.
PHI is only used or disclosed as needed for the services we provide.
Any subcontractors handling PHI must follow the same strict requirements.
We support covered entities in fulfilling individual rights, including access, amendments, restrictions, and accounting of disclosures.
Upon termination, PHI is returned or securely destroyed, with no copies retained.
DocAug accepts liability under HIPAA enforcement provisions and agrees to amend the BAA as regulations evolve.
