HIPAA Training for Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is about insurance portability, fraud, and administrative simplification. In this HIPAA training boot camp we examine basics of the Administrative Simplification portion of the HIPAA legislation and all defined HIPAA security specifications and identify options and solutions available to secure health care entities. It is this provision that is the watershed legislation for health-care information systems. This HIPAA provision will result in substantial investment in e-business initiatives and deployment of security technology specifically in the health-care and insurance industries.

The focus of this 4 days program is to better understand the implications of HIPAA legislation and identify critical compliance requirements for your business. The program flow and content accounts for the three security domains defined within the HIPAA Security Rule. The HIPAA security domain topics are addressed in the context of the required implementation specifications and associated security technologies and policies. This training helps you understand the core elements for defining the framework towards HIPAA’s security compliance.


HIPAA Training: Learning Objectives

This training helps you better understand HIPAA’s Administrative Simplification Act as well as how to create a framework for initiating and working towards a blueprint for HIPAA Security compliance. From this boot camp you will learn the following about HIPAA:

  • Examine how implementing HIPAA will affect the way healthcare entities organize and staff to achieve and monitor compliance with patient privacy/confidentiality needs.
