Online HIPAA Training Course

HIPAA Privacy and Security Training

The online HIPAA training course helps teach HR managers and employees HIPAA privacy and security laws. The HIPAA compliance training program helps companies involved in the healthcare industry better protect the privacy and security of personal information and patient data. HIPAA compliance is essential in healthcare, where individuals share details of their health, personal lives and finances when they are at their most vulnerable. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") addresses these issues by imposing stringent privacy and security requirements on healthcare providers and their business associates.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, amended HIPAA to require "covered entities" — healthcare providers, health insurance plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and "business associates" who contract with these entities — to create and implement information-security policies covering protected health information that is electronically transmitted or maintained. In 2013, the HIPAA-HITECH Omnibus Rule brought strengthened patient privacy protections and made other important changes to HIPAA regulations. The work needed to comply with HIPAA laws and regulations presents a tremendous challenge for all organizations that handle healthcare information.

California and Texas versions of the course are also available. These courses contain a chapter covering medical-privacy laws of the respective states, which include additional requirements concerning the handling and use of protected health information and additional penalties for violations.
