    DW is correct.  VM, efax, and other areas where the call which may
    contain ePHI should be secure and encrypted in storage.<br>
    <br>
    A Business Associate Agreement spells out responsibilities, so you
    could give one that in fact limits your liability.<br>
    <br>
    Much of the ePHI spillage is at the doctors' ends - the smartphones,
    speakerphones, transcription recordings, etc.<br>
    Many HITECH experts claim the iPhone is the weakest link.<br>

                Hi Team Voiceops:<br>

                    What is needed for an ITSP to be HIPPA complaint?
