HIPAA Training
Comprehensive consulting and ongoing training
HIPAA comes with multiple rules that involve defining what can be counted as protected health information (PHI), how it should be handled and secured, and the penalties that apply in cases of data breaches.
Creating policies in accordance with these rules is one step, and ensuring that all members of your workforce follow these policies is another. This can be accomplished through regular and well-crafted HIPAA training.
Compliance With HIPAA Rules
As defined by HIPAA, all covered entities, such as healthcare providers and nursing homes, are mandated to implement and undergo training. Even those in the orthodontics and dental fields are required to take dentistry HIPAA training.
HIPAA training mainly deals with two rules, the first being the Privacy Rule. It sets forth federally mandated standards on the use and disclosure of protected health information, as well as the patient’s rights to control its usage.
The HIPAA Security Rule is also involved here, as it provides standards on how healthcare companies must safeguard patients’ electronic and non-electronic PHI. Under this rule, all covered entities and their associates must take medical HIPAA training to ensure the security of protected health information.

Lowered Risk of Data Breaches
While PHI mostly stays inside IT systems, it’s human resources that manage and control them at the end of the day. Clearly, employees are key to lowering the risk of data breaches in your business.
In addition to being a step closer to HIPAA compliance, training your personnel also lets them understand the repercussions of data breaches if the rules implemented are not followed rigorously—both for the patients concerned and the company.
It’s not all about the money; data breaches also impact the trust of clients who choose to believe that you and your associates can keep their personal information safe.
HIPAA training is a preventive measure. In the event of an HIPAA breach, auditors and investigators will ask for training records to determine whether you were negligent. Should you be unable to provide these documents, you might face penalties.
