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.

    What is HIPAA?

    HIPAA, enacted in 1996, stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and is meant “to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in health insurance and health care delivery.” This Act reduces health care fraud and abuse, is responsible for health care information and electronic billing standards and requires confidentiality and protection of individuals’ health information. Additionally, there are HIPAA rules in place regarding the disclosure of legitimate need-to-know information. Learning what those rules are and when they apply is critical when working in the healthcare industry.

    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?
