Cybersecurity Training for Healthcare Professionals - Online Inservice

Course overview

This inservice provides Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Home Health Aides (HHAs) with essential knowledge and practical guidance on online security, digital safety, and patient privacy in healthcare environments. As technology becomes increasingly integrated into daily care, frontline staff must understand how routine actions - such as using work devices, managing passwords, sending messages, and documenting care - can either protect or expose sensitive patient information. This course explains common risks such as phishing, malware, system leaks, and privacy breaches in clear, relatable terms and connects them directly to real-world CNA and HHA responsibilities. Through narrative instruction, examples, and case-based scenarios, learners will develop skills to use work technology appropriately, protect their digital identity, recognize suspicious activity, communicate securely, and uphold patient confidentiality in both facility and home health settings. The course emphasizes professional accountability, ethical responsibility, and compliance with privacy regulations, helping CNAs and HHAs support patient trust, organizational integrity, and safe, compliant care.
