HIPAA Awareness Training

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law introduced in 1996 to simplify administrative processes surrounding healthcare and insurance and safeguard an individual’s Protected Health Information (PHI). Throughout this course, we detail the rules, regulations, and patient rights set forth by HIPAA, define which entities and individuals are subject to HIPAA regulations, discuss acceptable uses and disclosures of PHI, review HIPAA interactions with state laws, and provide an overview of the actions your organization can take to become HIPAA compliant. This training course is intended to provide an overview of HIPAA rules and regulations to fulfill the general HIPAA training requirements for all workforce members of covered entities, including healthcare providers, health plans or medical insurance providers, and healthcare clearing houses. This course is just one step towards organizational compliance with HIPAA law and is not intended to provide the in-depth training required for HIPAA Privacy or HIPAA Security Officers within the organization.
