Course overview
Everyone makes mistakes in life. And if those mistakes or errors of judgment are serious it can cause a lot of tension and ill feeling between you and the people around you. At best, you could end up with a lot of apologizing to do. At worst, you’ll lose the trust of those closest to you. But usually, no laws are broken. In the workplace, though, things are different.
In healthcare organizations, making mistakes could be a serious violation of HIPAA privacy laws. And that can lead to a range of consequences, from patients losing trust in your organization to harsh legal penalties. So, healthcare workers need to be constantly aware of potential violations of HIPAA privacy laws.
