HIPAA Compliance Certification

HIPAA Compliance Certification for Healthcare Workers

HIPAA requires covered entities, healthcare organizations and business associates to train new employees to be HIPAA certified upon hire. However, compliance doesn’t stop at initial HIPAA training certification, so it’s important for organizations to make sure employees have a working knowledge of how HIPAA applies to their day-to-day job at all times. In this technological age, with communication methods constantly evolving, it’s easy to forget who is obligated to maintain confidentiality and what kind of information requires privacy. At Evolve e-Learning, we grow with technology to make organizational learning easy and keep your company up-to-date on HIPAA training.

HIPAA Certification

What is HIPAA Certification?

HIPAA compliance certification is essentially training. Some companies do offer a physical certificate showing that an individual took and passed a course on the subject, but that certificate does not show proof of compliance. In fact, that’s why it’s so important for health care professionals to continue training on the subject. Marathoners don’t stop running after one race, so why should your organization stop learning about responsible HIPAA practices after one course?

Courses Updated with HIPAA 2024 Final Rule

HHS issued a 2024 Final Rule protecting PHI for reproductive care following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization which overturned precedent that protected a constitutional right to abortion.  The Department of Health and Human Services modified the privacy rule to limit the circumstances in which provisions of the Privacy Rule permit the use or disclosure of an individual’s PHI about reproductive health care for certain non-health care purposes.

Does a HIPAA Training Certification Expire?

HIPAA typically requires organizations to train employees once and then provide periodic refresher training. Most companies provide training annually, and this is considered a best practice. With regulations frequently updated, it may feel difficult to stay current. While your HIPAA certificate won’t expire, it’s crucial to be aware of the latest updates.
