HIPAA COURSE

A HIPAA course is a training program designed to educate healthcare professionals on the principles and regulations outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA is a federal law that sets standards for the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI).

The course typically covers topics such as the scope and purpose of HIPAA, the rights of patients under HIPAA, the responsibilities of covered entities (such as healthcare providers and health plans) under HIPAA, the requirements for privacy and security of PHI, and the consequences of noncompliance with HIPAA regulations.
