For legal reasons, LuxSci’s HIPAA customers are required to physically sign a “Business Associate Agreement” and return it to us.  While this is a simple and commonplace request, it creates a lot of busy work on the part of the customer and LuxSci!

The customer has to

• Download the file
• Print out the 14 pages
• Sign the agreement
• Fax back all pages, or scan it and return electronically

Then, LuxSci has to

• Locate the document
• Sort out faxes that are in the wrong order, upside down, blank, or missing pages
• Figure out who sent the document
• Verify that pages are not missing or changed
• Counter-sign the document and attach them to the customer account
• Contact customers who have not sent in their documents properly or at all which is crucial to the HIPAA certification process

Multiplied by lots of customers, this creates a lot of unproductive busy work for everyone — and this time costs money.
