workforce (HIPAA)

HIPAA defines the workforce to include "employees, volunteers, trainees, and other persons whose conduct, in the performance of work for a covered entity, is under the direct control of such entity, whether or not they are paid by the covered entity."

Persons who do not fall in these categories, but nonethless perform services on behalf of the covered entity, would be considered part of the workforce of business associates.
