1. Ask questions and get comfortable and make sure you understand what you are getting.
2. Insist that your cloud provider provide documentation of their HIPAA compliance program, and insist that they sign a business associate agreement.
3. Check references.
4. Find out how long the cloud provider has been offering these types of services.
5. Don’t assume that just because your electronic health record is hosted you are HIPAA compliant, and all your applications are covered.
