When a hospital or other facility applies to JCAHO for accreditation, it is required to provide JCAHO with access to PHI. Therefore, JCAHO proposed a form of business associate agreement so that the providers can give them access without violating HIPAA. Some hospitals had some issues with the form, so JCAHO revised it. You can get a copy of the revised form
here.
