Course description
Traliant’s HIPAA training is a 25-minute interactive course designed for employees of covered entities – including healthcare providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses – as well as business associates such as insurers, lawyers, accountants, and IT specialists who have access to Protected Health Information (PHI).
The course helps employees understand how to protect PHI under HIPAA's Privacy Rule (including limits on the use and disclosure of PHI) and under HIPAA’s Security Rule (using appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards). It also explains required actions following a data breach as outlined in HIPAA’s Breach Notification Rule. The course covers HIPAA as amended by the HITECH Act and state laws that supplement HIPAA obligations.
Additionally, Traliant offers a 15-minute HIPAA refresher course – a quick, engaging way to reinforce an employees’ understanding of key HIPAA fundamentals, including the Privacy Rule, required security safeguards and how to identify and properly report data breaches. Ideal for employees who have already received annual training, the refresher course helps keep HIPAA on top of mind.
