HIPAA History in Brief:

HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 which was signed by President Clinton. The legislation provides security rules and data privacy rules to help keep patients' medical information safe. The Act contains five sections, or Titles. However, the terms HIPAA Compliance and the related HIPAA Trainingmost frequently refer to Title II. Title II is commonly known as the ‘Administrative Simplification’ provisions and includes the following:

• National Provider Identifier Standard. Every entity, employer, individual, healthcare providers and health insurance plans must have a unique 10-digit provider identifier code.
• ​Transactions and Code Sets Standards. Organizations must follow a EDI (electronic data interchange) standard when processing or submitting insurance claims.
• HIPAA Privacy Rule. A set of standard safeguards that protect patients’ health information.
• HIPAA Security Rule. A set of standard safeguards that protect patients’ data security.
• HIPAA Enforcement Rule. Guidelines for investigating HIPAA violations and subsequent penalties.

The HITECH Act of 2009 made further modifications by outlining responsibilities of business associates and increasing penalties for HIPAA violations. On Jan. 25, 2013, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published the “HIPAA Omnibus Rule,” which is a set of final regulations modifying the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy, Security, and Enforcement Rules to implement various provisions of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health(HITECH) Act.

Our Cybersecurity Awareness training modules complies with federal and all current state guidelines. Many states have mandates for state employees and several states are currently considering legislation for companies that do business in their state. This is an interactive course using learning components to engage the learner and test their knowledge.

This course takes a very interesting and engaging approach to sexual harassment prevention education through the use of on-going dialogue, exercises and knowledge checks.

Our new sexual harassment course being released in June of 2019 will comply with all state guidelines including California, New York and Delaware.  In addition to states that currently require employers to provide sexual harassment training, many other states, such as Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, and Vermont, have laws that “encourage” employers to provide training. More than a dozen states will be considering similar legislation this coming year and 

California’s law will be modified starting in 2020 to require all employers with more than 5 employees to provide sexual harassment training. 

The Sexual Harassment for Supervisors course will be released in June and comply with all state guidelines including California, New York and Delaware. Similar to the Sexual Harassment course, the course will be interactive and engaging - much more than your typical “turn it on and walk away” training that seems to have become all too common these days.
