What is HIPAA Privacy Rule

The HIPAA privacy rule sets the standards of how healthcare organizations can use and share an individual’s health information. It defines the meaning of protected health information (PHI), and how you can use, store or share such information. Permitted usage and disclosure of PHI is also governed by the standards set under the privacy rule.

Healthcare providers, plans, and clearing houses need to put in place policies and systems to confirm with the privacy rule. Business associates who give services to such organizations and have access to the protected health information need to comply as well. Most importantly, the privacy rule also sets the monetary penalties levied in case of violations.

Designed to fulfill the mandatory training requirements set by HIPAA, the HIPAA Privacy rule training covers

1. What is the Privacy rule
2. Protected Health Information (PHI)
3. Safeguards provided by the Privacy rule

Beginning with a basic introduction to the Privacy rule, the course covers the major aspects of the Privacy rule, such as

• Patient rights
• Permissible usage and disclosure of PHI
• Administrative requirements

By the end of the training, you’d develop a good understanding of what protected health information is; and how to comply with the rules of using and disclosing health records under HIPAA.
