American College of Surgeons: Cancer Programs

Business Associate Agreement

Under the HIPAA regulations, the College serves as a Business Associate (BA) to assist you with accreditation and quality improvement efforts for your cancer program. To accomplish these tasks, we must enter into BA Agreements with all CoC-accredited cancer programs. Before any cancer program can schedule a survey and before data can be accepted by the NCDB, a signed BA Agreement must be in place.

The BA Agreement specifically addresses the following issues:

The CoC automatically e-mails a unique User ID and Password to the cancer registrar, cancer committee chair, and cancer liaison physician at each CoC-accredited cancer program. These eligible individuals can simply log on to CoC Datalinks with the ID and Password to review and accept the BA Agreement. If you have any questions regarding HIPAA or the BA Agreement, please contact Asa Carter at acarter@facs.org or call 312-202-5180.
