New HIPAA Privacy Officer and Privacy Program Training - Module 1

         HIPAA Privacy Officer Training will uncover all HIPAA and HITECH expectations in protecting patient and member's right to privacy and the confidentiality of Protected Health Information (PHI) as you engage in treatment, payment, and healthcare operations (TPO) services.

         HIPAA Privacy Officer Training will cover all ongoing activities of a Privacy Program related to the development, implementation, maintenance of, and adherence to the organization's policies and procedures covering the privacy of, and access to, patient health information in compliance with federal and state laws and the healthcare organization's information privacy practices.

         HIPAA requires that your organization have a Privacy Officer. Do you know if your privacy program is ready and fully compliant with the HIPAA Privacy Rule? Do you want to ensure that you are ready for the next round of federal HIPAA Audits? The fact is, privacy programs lack the complete and accurate assessment, and many do not conduct HIPAA Training.

        New federal laws and regulations are raising the bar in healthcare to protect patient's rights in privacy. With the new round of government audits many practices are not prepared and face high fines and penalties.

        This HIPAA Privacy Officer Training will provide a comprehensive overview of the HIPAA Privacy Officers responsibilities and an in-depth road map of best practices. This HIPAA Privacy Officer training will include HIPAA required privacy policies and procedures needed for compliance. You will walk away with a thorough understanding on how to administer a successful privacy program.
