What is a verb? Got it all? Here's a summary. There are three categories of verbs (action, linking, helping). Only two can be main verbs (action, linking). Main means that the verb is strong enough to be the only verb in the sentence. Helping verbs are not main verbs. They help action and linking verbs.
âBAAâ is an acronym for  âbusiness associate agreement,â which is an industry term for what the HIPAA regulations call a âbusiness associate contract.â Same thing. BAAs are hybrid contractual and regulatory instruments, meaning they both satisfy HIPAA regulatory requirements and create liability between the parties.
In very brief summary, the main requirements for a BAA are to: 1  Whitelist the permitted uses and disclosures of PHI. Anything not in the whitelist is not allowed. 2  Recite things you have to do anyways under the regulations (comply with the Security Rule, report non-whitelisted uses and disclosures, obey HHS).
