Where to share Paubox's HIPAA compliant forms

Do forms need to be HIPAA compliant?
Online forms must comply with HIPAA.
A form must include the following to be HIPAA compliant:
- Data encryption: Electronic protected health information (ePHI) shared through a form must be encrypted during transmission and storage.
- Access controls: Measures to restrict access to ePHI collected via forms must be implemented.
- Audit controls: HIPAA requires covered entities to track access to PHI gathered through online forms.
