Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we discuss due diligence with Terms & Conditions and Business Associate Agreements, particularly with the recent updates to Simple Practice and Zoom.  

We cover common pitfalls we see around accepting Terms & Conditions (T&Cs); what’s required for a HIPAA compliant Business Associate Agreement (BAA); how to evaluate a BAA; Simple Practice’s revamped T&Cs; Zoom’s updated T&Cs; considerations for switching systems; and when to get an attorney’s opinion.
