Employee HIPAA Training for the Workplace
Ensure that your employees understand how to safeguard the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Course description
Traliant’s HIPAA training is a 20-minute course designed for employees of covered entities (such as healthcare providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses) and business associates (third party businesses that provide covered entities with services such as insurers, lawyers, accountants, and IT specialists) with access to protected health information (PHI).
