HIPAA Handbook for Nursing & Clinical Staff

These handbooks provide fundamental privacy and security training for new and seasoned staff. They include scenarios that depict workplace practices specific to staff and settings. They are updated to include relevant information from the Omnibus Rule. A quiz helps ensure that staff understand what the law requires. HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to train all workforce members with respect to privacy and security compliance. HIPAA is in the spotlight again because of The Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Enforcement, and Breach Notification Rules under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (Omnibus Rule) published January 25, 2013 in the Federal Register. This update will help covered entities and business associates provide their workforce members the training that is a necessary component of HIPAA compliance.
