Ensure HIPAA Compliance

Clarify HIPAA Rules for Staff and Avoid Costly Violations

Recent government acts, including the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, also known as ARRA, enforce stricter standards regarding privacy protection and heftier fines and damages for those healthcare organizations that even slightly violate HIPAA regulations. The best way to protect against compliance violations is to properly train your staff on HIPAA and privacy rules. The Mastering HIPAA Library is a comprehensive collection of six courses aimed at educating staff on patient’s rights, protected health information, the “minimum necessary” standard, and transactions covered by HIPAA.
