Personal privacy is now a major issue to people, particularly where medical information is concerned. This course presents an overview of HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), outlining the main components and identifying who is covered by the act. The course examines the privacy provisions under HIPAA for patients and employees involved with covered entities. Under HIPAA, covered entities are now expected to provide notification to individuals before the routine use of health information. HIPAA offers patients the right to a copy of their medical records, to request amendments to them if necessary, and to know the history of disclosures. This course helps covered entities recognize the key provisions of HIPAA, how their organizations are affected by HIPAA, and how the privacy rules impact upon them. The course also explains their notification requirements and the penalties of noncompliance. SkillSoft's Legal Compliance courses are developed and maintained with subject matter suppor Managers, supervisors, and all employees
