Our online Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) training is easy to use, completely web-based HIPAA and HITECH training is designed to foster a privacy-conscious culture across an entire organization, whether your organization has few employees or thousands. Our HIPAA training is for both supervisors and employees of Covered Entities, Business Associates, and Direct Care providers. Our high-quality online training go a step further than simply meeting training requirements found in the Privacy and Security Rules and the HIPAA Omnibus Rule: they engage employees and teach them the importance of safeguarding Protected Health Information to reduce your risk of a Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) violation.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has mandated annual privacy and security training, as well as regular reminders, for all employees of Covered Entities. Regular training is therefore more than an issue of best practices: it is legally required by the federal government for those who handle Protected Health Information. Our engaging HIPAA training can help your organization meet this legal requirement, while encouraging an organizational culture in which all employees understand the importance of compliance with protected health information.
