Topic hub
Vendor Management and BAAs Hub
A hub for the vendor review, BAA, and pricing questions that matter when small clinics let third parties touch PHI.
Vendor management is where small clinics translate policy into purchasing discipline.
The right starting questions are simple: does this vendor touch PHI, what contract posture applies, and does the product actually support the clinic’s intended workflow?
Why this hub exists
Small clinics often compare feature lists before they confirm contractual fit. That reverses the order of operations. A product can look operationally attractive and still be unusable for PHI-sensitive work.
