Introduction

• HIPAA has a broad set of training requirements
  and they are frequently a source of many
  inquiries as well as disarray. So, the root
  question that arises here is whom does it apply?
  What topics must be covered as a part of
  training? Do the medical billing and coding
  team require HIPAA training? What number of staff
  requires training under HIPAA? How regularly
  should individuals be trained? How long will the
  training period be? If a doctors office is able
  to distinguish these points of contention, than
  your facility for sure will be HIPAA compliant.

Organizations to provide HIPAA Training

• Small time physicians need to prepare their
  faculty on HIPAA. Physicians need to be trained,
  as well the nurses.
• Business partners and any of their subcontractors
  must have the training and the
  know-how regarding HIPAA.
• And last but not the least the accounting staff
  that looks into medical billing and
  coding, should be the first members to understand
  the HIPAA logistics.

What points must HIPAA privacy training cover?

• The HIPAA Privacy Rule states that the
  training must be "as fundamental and proper for
  the individuals from the workforce to complete
  their functions." HIPAA along these lines
  doesn't require that everybody be trained
  similarly.
• Numerous staffers at the doctors facility may
  have functions with a limited involvement with
  patients or PHI.
• In the event that a representative is not
  included in giving notification to patients or in
  furnishing patients with access to their records,
  they needn't bother with preparing on these
  themes.
•  While acting as business associates, employees
  will once in a while be included with managing
  patient rights (which are commonly done by
  covered entities).

HIPAA training goes beyond the conventional
guidelines

• Training must be understood. Information is
  useless unless individuals comprehend it.
• Training must be remembered. If individuals don't
  recall the training, then what's the point?
• Training must be followed and not just grasped.

Documentation for HIPAA Training

• Just as medical billing coding requires the
  staff to be certified, HIPAA requires that
  training be documented.
• In case of an OCR analysis or audit, it is best
  to produce content of the training as often as
  possible.
• You ought to likewise monitor who finished it
  effectively and the successful completion
  entailed.
