When you work in healthcare, you spend every day dealing with the health and well-being of the people you’re looking after. But you also have another big responsibility in healthcare: looking after the personal information of the people you treat.

Because dealing with a lot of people means dealing with a lot of information, the US House of Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) back in 1996. Many organizations need to be legally compliant with this. But what is HIPAA, who needs to be compliant, and how? This course will give you the lowdown.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Describe what HIPAA compliance is
• Recognize who must be compliant with HIPAA
• Identify HIPAA compliance violations

Why take this course?

Violating HIPAA laws is serious, and can see organizations and individuals getting large fines, or even jail terms. So, it’s vital to understand HIPAA compliance. If you work in healthcare, this course will show you the basics of HIPAA compliance, so you can identify who must be compliant and what you need to do to protect against compliance violations.
