Healthcare employees see private information about the people they’re looking after. These often include sensitive personal information about patients and their health. And accidental exposure of this can have serious consequences. That’s why the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, exists.
Privacy forms a huge part of HIPAA, and the Privacy Rule is the cornerstone of HIPAA regulations. Anyone working in a HIPAA-covered entity must be compliant. But what does the Privacy Rule include, and how does it apply to your employees’ work? This course will explain it to them.
