    Overview

    HIPAA

    HIPAA training plays a vital role in raising awareness of the basics of HIPAA compliance and the responsibilities of organizations to safeguard the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI). As more information is stored and shared through digital information systems, it is imperative that organizations that come in contact with PHI take measures to reduce the risk of compromising or misusing medical records and other health information.
    HIPAA training is one such measure. Through relevant content and real-world examples, HIPAA training can communicate the importance of keeping patient information private and secure, as well as the negative consequences of HIPAA violations, including costly fines and penalties, a loss of client and patient trust and reputational damage.

    What is HIPAA?

    The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly known as HIPAA, is a federal law enacted in 1996 that sets standards for the protection of individuals’ medical records and other personal health information. The US Department of Health & Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights is responsible for enforcing the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules and the Patient Safety Act and Rule.
