The additional requirements of Title XIII of the HITECH Act that relate to the security and that are made applicable with respect to covered entities shall also be applicable to Business Associate.

e. The Business Associate shall, at their own expense, take action to mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect that is known to the Business Associate of a use or disclosure of Protected Health Information by the Business Associate in violation of the requirements of this Clause.
