Understanding HIPAA for Licensed Professionals
Tracking # 20-1308870
Course overview
The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was implemented in 1996 and has evolved significantly. While HIPAA regulations have many varying components, the part of HIPAA most relevant to healthcare professionals centers around protecting an individual's healthcare information. Because you play a key role in the production of healthcare information, you play a key role in its protection. This course aims to provide licensed professionals with an understanding of HIPAA, privacy, and security.
