HIPAA requires that anyone working for a covered entity who handles PHI must receive HIPAA training. This training requirement extends to volunteer workers, such as a hospital greeter or an art therapist in a nursing home. Business associates of covered entities are also mandated to train their workforce, including employees and subcontractors. Thus, anyone who is involved with the disposal of PHI, or who supervises others who dispose of PHI, must receive training that covers the PHI disposal policies and procedures of the covered entity.
Training must be provided to each new member within the workforce and when a material change has taken place within the covered entity’s workforce. Annual re-training is suggested.
This course presents an overview of the requirements for the disposal of protected health information (PHI) as set forth in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. The course includes practical information about how individuals and organizations can maintain HIPAA compliance.
