The HIPAA Rules apply to covered entities and business associates. Individuals, organizations, and agencies that meet the definition of a covered entity under HIPAA must comply with the Rules' requirements to protect the privacy and security of health information and must provide individuals
with certain rights with respect to their health information. If a covered entity engages a business associate to help it carry out its health care activities and functions, the covered entity must have a written business associate contract or other arrangement with the business associate that establishes specifically what the business associate has been engaged to do and requires the business associate to comply with the Rules’ requirements to protect the privacy and
security of protected health information. In addition to these contractual obligations, business associates are directly liable for compliance with certain provisions of the HIPAA Rules. If an entity does not meet the definition of a covered entity or business associate, it does not have to comply with the HIPAA Rules. See definitions of “business associate” and “covered entity” at 45 CFR 160.103. View an easy-to-use

Sponsoring Visitors, Guests, and Affiliated Workers Departments can sponsor access for visitors using a few different mechanisms. ITS does not create or sponsor guest accounts for department visitors. Sponsoring Affiliated Workers Longer term visitors who require regular access to the network (e.g., visiting researchers on campus for a semester, or long term contractors) will need an Affiliated Worker account to access the utexas Wi-Fi network. Visitors in this role will need to create a UT EID if they do not already have one. Once the EID has been created, administrative staff from the sponsoring department will need to assign the correct affiliations and entitlements in the EID system. For more information on affiliate workers please see the Introduction to University Affiliate Positions page; see the Public Network Access notes in the Privileges section for details. Sponsoring Guests on utexas In limited circumstances a department TSC may sponsor a guest ID to use on the utexas Wi-Fi network. The sponsoring department incurs liability for the guest's activity while on the utexas network and is solely responsible for end-user support for the guest's devices. Guest IDs created in this manner only function on the utexas Wi-Fi and will not grant access to any other services requiring a UT EID. Departments should consult with their Technical Support Contact (TSC) to seek sponsorship assistance.
