The Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act rules are more stringent than ever before.

It is critical for all health care workers to receive information to reduce the risk and vulnerabilities associated with patient data privacy and security.
With advances in medical record documentation and storage, ensuring privacy and security of individual's health information is even more critical and challenging. The stakes are high as criminal and civil penalties for improper use or disclosure of medical information are increasing as well. It is critical that every employee, even those with limited access to patient information, become familiar with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule requirements. (Show Less)
