Course Overview
This Certified HIPAA Professional Training helps you better understand HIPAA's Administrative Simplification Act as well as how to create a framework for initiating and working towards a blueprint for HIPAA compliance.

From this intensive training program, you will learn the following about HIPAA:

• Understand why HIPAA requirements will cause significant changes in policies, procedures and processes within the organization in the handling of patient records.
• Examine how implementing HIPAA will affect the way healthcare entities organize and staff in order to achieve and monitor compliance with patient privacy and confidentiality needs.
• Step through qualifications and positioning strategies for a Chief Privacy Officer and requirements for a Chief Security Officer.
• Learn why HIPAA compliance is better viewed more as a business matter than an IT issue, although IT will play a major role in implementing compliant systems.
• Review specific requirements and implementation features within each security category.
• Step through how to plan and prepare for HIPAA compliance. HIPAA is about awareness first, assessment second, and, finally, action focused on identified gaps.
• Validate your HIPAA skills and knowledge and get certified as a HIPAA Professional. Take the Certified HIPAA Professional exam at the end of the boot camp.
