HIPAA Online Training
It is critical to train all who handle PHI in the key aspects of the Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules. Within our program, HIPAA training is available for all professionals responsible for protected health information (PHI). This includes groups such as covered entities and business associates. Our HIPAA Online training will help keep your organization out of trouble.
Train For Compliance
A critical part of any effective compliance program is appropriate training and education. A company must ensure that policies and procedures are integrated and made active through initial and periodic training of employees, contractors, and other stakeholders. Further, specialized training must be provided for employees who work in Health Information Management and Information Technology. We have online HIPAA training available for all organizations with this in mind.
HIPAA Certification & the OCR
HIPAA Certification is a term commonly used by many vendors today claiming the ability to certify organizations on HIPAA and make them HIPAA Compliant. This is a misconception actively addressed by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) with oversight of the HIPAA Regulations.
The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) and OCR have made it clear that in regard to HIPAA certification they do not endorse any private consultants’ or education providers’ seminar, material, or systems, and do not certify any persons or products as “HIPAA compliant.” The Privacy Rule does not require attendance at any specific seminars. The OCR has taken a further step and indicated that anyone making false or misleading representations about HHS or OCR in regard to HIPAA training and compliance may be reported to the OCR.
HIPAA Associates does not claim to offer HIPAA certification. Instead we offer a HIPAA Compliance training program created with the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy Rule in mind. Our training is based on in-depth knowledge of the law and the benefit of many years of experience working with HIPAA and the OCR. These courses include information on best practices and cover all of the necessary information you will need to understand the basic concepts of HIPAA. We follow the intent of the OCR in all of our training programs.
The questions to be considered by your organization:
- Is training offered in a form and language appropriate to the audience?
- Is training provided online and/or in person?
- How is the effectiveness of training measured?
- Are employees/contractors required to certify on completion of training?
- How does the company address situations where an employee fails to either take training or pass a quiz related to the content?
- Does training address key compliance principles and risk areas?
- Is specialized training provided to employees engaged in high-risk areas?
- Do managers and supervisors receive supplemental compliance training?
HIPAA Training for Employees
The Administrative requirements of HIPAA (§ 164.530) indicate that a covered entity must train all members of its workforce on the policies and procedures with respect to protected health information as necessary and appropriate for the members of the workforce to carry out their functions within the covered entity.
A covered entity must provide training to each member of the covered entity’s workforce no later than the compliance date for the covered entity.
Each new member of the workforce must be trained within a reasonable period of time after the person joins the covered entity’s workforce.
A covered entity must train each member of the covered entity’s workforce whose functions are affected by a material change in the policies or procedures within a reasonable period of time after the material change becomes effective.
A covered entity must document that the training has been provided.
HIPAA requires that all members of the workforce of covered entities and business associates have training on the HIPAA privacy and security policies that affect their job. In response to this, we are prepared to assist you in providing HIPAA training for employees regardless of their position. We have training to cover all areas in your organization. This can be done efficiently with our web-based platform available to all of your staff.

It is important to note, the OCR does not endorse any private consultants’ or education providers claims and does not certify any persons or products as “HIPAA compliant.

State Laws
Covered entities and business associates must comply with the HIPAA Rules which are federal regulations. HIPAA Associates has created courses to address the HIPAA Rules based on the function of healthcare providers.
Many states have privacy laws that affect patient privacy. Our courses do not cover each individual state, but you may consult with our professionals to review applicable laws from your state.
