Hiring remote staff isn’t the compliance gray area a lot of practices assume it is.
In this article, Dr. Peter Cass breaks down why HIPAA applies the exact same way whether an employee is down the hall or working from home, and where practices actually get tripped up: shaky device security, skipped training, missing Business Associate Agreements.
Dr. Cass isn’t arguing against remote work. He’s making the case that it works fine as long as you treat it with the same seriousness you’d give an in-office hire.
