HIPAA Campus Questions (or View Presentation)
How do I Register for Your HIPAA Course?You can sign up for the HIPAA courses in 2 ways. You can immediately take the course if you use a credit card payment. The credit card payment is secure through PayPal. Alternatively, to arrange to pay by check, purchase order, or a pre-arranged discount, please send a email to the address on the website. Back to Top
Are Group discounts available?Yes, 10% discounts will be given to all groups of 10 or more. Contact HealthCIO for details. Back to Top
Which course is right for me or my organization?If you know which class of healthcare entity according to the HIPAA rules, then please take the appropriate course tailored to your type of organization (e.g., covered entity, hybrid, or business associate). If you are not sure which type of entity you work for, then the general HIPAA 101 course as an introduction would be perfectly suited to you. Back to Top
I worked for a covered entity. I thought the HIPAA Rules state that I need to be trained in my policies and procedures?You are correct. HealthCIO can easily customize the training to your particular organization. However, if your organization has not provided some general training on HIPAA, then HIPAA training is needed to allow the staff to be on equal footing before specific policy based training is provided. Back to Top
I work for a hybrid entity. I did not see training for hybrid entities?Because hybrid entities are so very different, we recommend training specific to covered entities. Back to Top
When do I need to train my whole workforce in HIPAA?HIPAA privacy requires training for the whole workforce by April 2003. Since this is generally not possible for most large organizations, a training plan is needed to make provision for training the whole workforce. Training is recommended for any worker handling or dealing with patient or member information. In addition, HIPAA requires security awareness training under the security rules effective April 2005. Back to Top
Does my workforce include non-employees?Your workforce is defined as all employees, volunteers, contract
workers, students or other person that come in contact with patients,
members or their health information.
What are my training options for training my workforce?Multiple options are available. We recommend online Web-based
courses but HealthCIO can training CD's or provide "live"
conference calling options as well.
Do you need a quiz to test retention?We do not recommend the use of quizzes to test retention until sometime
has passed.
I need to track course attendance. What options do you provide?We provide a report that can be downloaded into an Excel spreadsheet or other software (e.g., a database). Each course attendee is prompted to enter their personal information at the end of the course to track course completion and attendance.
What if I have questions after the course is completed?We provide an option (upon request) that allows all or selected attendees to email questions to the course instructor. The response will generally be provided within 24 hours. It is like having a HIPAA SME (subject matter expert) on staff.
