Stay up to date with our HIPAA compliance training
Our convenient online training course makes it easy.
HIPAA compliance is essential in healthcare, where individuals share details of their health, personal lives and finances when they are at their most vulnerable. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 addresses these issues by imposing stringent privacy and security requirements on healthcare providers and their business associates.
In 2013, the HIPAA-HITECH Omnibus Rule brought strengthened patient privacy protections and other important changes to HIPAA regulations. The work needed to comply with HIPAA laws and regulations presents a tremendous challenge for all organizations that handle healthcare information.
