Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we share HIPAA considerations regarding VPNs and password managers for group practice owners.

We discuss if you need a BAA with your VPN service or your password management program; the conduit exception; how VPNs work; practice provided services vs personal services; and our specific product recommendations for VPNs and password managers (as well as why we like them).
