If there is any information sharing with third parties, an information sharing assessment form (ISAF) needs to be initiated with the UofU privacy office to determine if a Business Associates Agreement needs to be on file. Please send CHPC your BAA if you have one already, otherwise The ISAF must be completely filled out (Typed) by the requesting department and returned for evaluation to determine the need for a Business Associate Agreement or other agreement to protect the information being shared.
