Course Content Example 1:
Why Do I Need a Refresher?
Created over 20 years ago, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) continues to play a significant role in the everyday practice of health care professionals and their business associates.
Maintaining the privacy and security of patient information is more challenging than ever with the increased use of portable electronic devices, such as laptops and mobile phones.
Modifications have been made to HIPAA over time as a result of the HITECH Act of 2009 and the Omnibus Final Rule of 2013.
These changes included:
- Strengthened existing HIPAA requirements for Privacy and Security
- Expanded individual's rights relating to their PHI
- Increased enforcement of HIPAA, including higher fines for non-compliance
- Addressed notification for breaches of PHI
Course Content Example 2:
Business Associates and the Final Rule
The Final Rule imposed significant changes for Business Associates, including:
- The definition of a Business Associate was expanded
- Business Associates became directly liable for certain provisions of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules
- Previously, Business Associates were only liable to their Covered Entity according to the terms of their Business Associates Agreement (BAA)
