Guide to HIPAA Compliance - Online Inservice
This course emphasizes that protecting privacy is everyone’s duty. Why? Because confidentiality is of utmost importance to patients and clients. Good healthcare professionals – like good friends – keep secrets. And good habits each day reduce the risk of a privacy violation.
This course defines Protected Health Information under HIPAA. Participants will learn when it is appropriate to disclose, release, or share PHI as well as how information can be shared (i.e., physically, verbally, or electronically). Within this course we will discuss the peril of social media use and the importance of reporting any potential security breaches, as well as learn how people might attempt to gain access to private information through hacking, phishing emails, and other schemes – and how staff can effectively be on guard through daily vigilance. Lastly, we will discuss the importance of safe handling of paper documents; clean desks and workstations, and the importance of alerting a charge nurse or supervisor to suspicious activity.
