HIPAA Training
(PRWEB) July 31, 2013
Health care and mental health providers, insurers, billing services, and other business associates are bound by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, widely known as HIPAA. The act ensures specific privacy and security rules are followed for virtually all individually identifiable health information, at the risk of significant financial civil penalties. With the accelerating rate of change in the health care industry driven by new government mandates such as the Affordable Care Act and technological innovations like electronic health records, it is critical for all organizations to train their workforces to ensure HIPAA proficiency, accountability, and regulatory compliance.
Recently, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued an update to the HIPAA Omnibus Final Rule related to covered entities and business associates intended to strengthen the privacy and security safeguards for protected health information (PHI) and tighten HIPAA enforcement provisions. Covered entities and business associates have until September, 2013, to comply with most of the modified Final Rule provisions.
Succeed Management Solutions has just released three online training courses which provide organizations with the information their workforces need to ensure HIPAA awareness, understanding, and compliance. For health care providers and their business associates, Succeed is offering both HIPAA privacy and HIPAA security training courses. Succeed also offers the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Mental Health training that covers the special protections for mental health patients.
