Understanding HIPAA and How it Pertains to You as a Provider
As a provider, you are responsible for understanding and complying with both federal and state rules and regulations regarding HIPAA and privacy. In this course, we will define HIPAA and the Waiver rules that follow HIPAA. Additionally, we will discuss an individual’s right to privacy, how to safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI), and highlight what types of PHI can be shared and what information needs to be kept confidential. Finally, we will share real examples of investigations into potential HIPAA violations to give you a sense of what constitutes a violation.
