Healthcare Compliance
I keep getting an in correct response when answering a question on the Healthcare Compliance Lab. The HIPAA Framework.
Question is
Your hospital hires an IT consultant to audit your network security. Before giving them access to patient data, what must you do?
My response is
Have them sign a business associate agreement
but its wrong any ideas what the correct response is to this question?

Hey Manciteh​ did you make progress on this? the lab might be looking for the broader, official HIPAA term for the contract or assurance required before sharing protected health information (PHI) with an outside vendor.
