NAU’s Healthcare Components<\/h1>\n

In accordance with the HIPAA regulations, NAU has identified its HIPAA covered functions as Health Care Components (HCCs), responsible for ensuring the privacy and security of PHI. NAU\u2019s designated HCCs meet the definition of \u201cCovered Entities\u201d subject to HIPAA requirements. NAU\u2019s HCC s must safeguard the privacy and confidentiality of PHI in accordance with HIPAA.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Health Care Components consist of those programs that meet the definition of “Covered Entity” and have been designated by the HIPAA Privacy Officer. Additionally, organizations performing work for or on behalf of Covered Entities, and which meet the definition of a Business Associate, must establish Business Associate Agreements and comply with the applicable HIPAA rules.<\/p>\n
