 * important as the language of the node we're linking to, and even then only
 * if language path prefixing (eg /ja/node/123) is in use. REMEMBER THIS IN THE
 * FUTURE, ALBRIGHT.
 *
 * The below code uses the @ operator before parse_url() calls because in PHP
 * 5.3.2 and earlier, parse_url() causes a warning of parsing fails. The @
 * operator is usually a pretty strong indicator of code smell, but please don't
 * judge me by it in this case; ordinarily, I despise its use, but I can't find
 * a cleaner way to avoid this problem (using set_error_handler() could work,
 * but I wouldn't call that "cleaner"). Fortunately, Drupal 8 will require at
 * least PHP 5.3.5, so this mess doesn't have to spread into the D8 branch of
 * Pathologic.

<p>These same clients who qualify as Covered Entities and Business Associates will also look to you for your assurance that you comply with ARRA-HITECH requirements.  </p>
<p>HIPAA and ARRA-HITECH applies to both Covered Entities (CE) and their Business Associates (BA).  BA’s are entities or people that conduct work on behalf of CE’s and handle (handle = store, process, transmit or destroy) Covered Entity provided Protected Health Information (PHI). Most health care and medical malpractice attorneys are subject to these regulations. </p>
<p>Consequently, attorney’s who handle PHI as a result of their relationship with a Covered Entity are considered Business Associates.  </p>
<p>Regardless of whether an attorney obtains Protected Health Information (PHI) through a relationship with a CE or has a client that provides PHI to the attorney, that PHI must be provided the same protections as those protections required of a hospital or doctor. </p>
<p>Do you handle PHI?  Are you compliant with the Administrative, Physical and Technical provisions of HIPAA as well as the Privacy and Breach notification requirements specified in ARRA-HITECH?  Health Compliance Partners Compliance Assessment service is designed to assess your compliance profile, identify gaps, and provide a remediation roadmap to compliance.</p></div></div></div>  </div>
