EXHIBIT A, Business Associate Agreement
MARICOPA COUNTY
By and Through its
Department of Public Health (MCDPH)
Office of Oral Health
BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT
This Agreement sets out the responsibilities and obligations of Dignity Health d/b/a Chandler Regional Medical
Center ("Business Associate" or "Associate") as a business associate of the MARICOPA COUNTY, a covered entity,
under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"), the Health Information Technology for
Economic and Clinical Health ("HITECH") Act, and pursuant to the Contract or Engagement Letter between
Associate and MARICOPA COUNTY.
MARICOPA COUNTY may make available and/or transfer to Associate Protected Health Information ("PHI") of
individuals in conjunction with Services, which Associate will use or disclose only in accordance with this Agreement.
Associate and MARICOPA COUNTY agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in order to comply with the
use and handling of PHI under the HIPAA Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, 45
C.F.R. Part 160 and Part 164, Subpart E ("Privacy Standards") and the HIPAA Security Standards, 45 C.F.R. Part
160 and Part 164, Subpart C ("Security Standards"), both as amended from time to time. Unless otherwise provided,
all capitalized terms in this Agreement will have the same meaning as provided under the Privacy Standards and
Security Standards. Associate and MARICOPA COUNTY will comply with the terms of this Agreement for the
duration of the Contract or Engagement Letter and for such other continuing periods as provided in this Agreement.
Upon the compliance date of any final regulation or amendment to final regulation promulgated by the Secretary of
Health and Human Services that affects Associate's use or disclosure of PHI, the parties agree to take such
reasonable action as is necessary to amend this Agreement in order for MARICOPA COUNTY to comply with such
final regulation or amendment to final regulation.

1. Business Associate or Associate means an entity that performs or assists in the performance of a function on
behalf of a Covered Entity, which involves the use, or disclosure of Individually Identifiable Health Information

services to a Covered Entity, is more than a mere conduit of information, and allows a Covered Entity to
access the maintained information in a manner beyond a random or infrequent basis. The terms "Business
Associate", "Associate" and "Contractor are synonymous. Notwithstanding this definition, if Contractor does

2. Contractors of Business Associate means a person or an entity to whom an Associate delegates a function,
activity, or service that the Associate has agreed to perform for a Covered Entity. A contractor of an
Associate which creates, receives, maintains, or transmits personal health information on behalf of the
business associate is itself a Business Associate and therefore will comply with the terms of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement the term "Contractor" includes the Contractor, its employees, its
subcontractors and its agents.
