Business Associate Agreement

Some Avalora workflows may involve protected health information when Avalora supports a clinic's patient communication process.

For workflows involving protected health information, required Business Associate Agreements and vendor coverage must be reviewed before launch. Availability and scope need to be confirmed for the proposed deployment; this page is not an executed agreement.

Required agreements should define:

  • permitted uses and disclosures of PHI
  • clinic-approved communication boundaries
  • call recording, transcription, and summary handling
  • staff access and handoff rules
  • subprocessors and vendor documentation
  • retention and deletion expectations
  • incident and breach notification responsibilities
  • human escalation for clinical, urgent, or sensitive questions

Avalora does not treat vendor compliance alone as Avalora compliance. The full workflow, client agreement, vendor chain, and data handling process must be reviewed before making final compliance claims.

During onboarding, Avalora reviews what information will be captured, where it will be stored, which vendors are involved, where data is routed, and what agreements are required before launch.
