The HIPAA Rules and Compliance course is an interactive online training program that defines HIPAA terms, explains the regulations, and discusses what business entities and employees in healthcare-related fields need to do to comply with them. The course is provided in partnership with MARCOM, a top-rated safety and compliance training content provider.

To get quality healthcare, people should not have to sacrifice the privacy or security of their personal health information. The set of regulations known as HIPAA ensures that patient data remains private, but the laws can seem complex and the penalties for non-compliance can be costly.

Areas covered in the course include HIPAA and protected health information (PHI), covered entities, business associates and subcontractors, PHI and patients’ rights, guidelines for use and disclosure of PHI, using PHI for marketing and fundraising, requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule, breach notification and penalties, and more. The course uses a combination of audio, full-motion video, text, and colorful graphics and is divided into logical sections so information is easily understood and retained.
