Is HIPAA Training Required? Yes
Warning: This section contains legal jargon.
The HIPAA Laws make it clear that
healthcare workers must have documented training.
The wording is very lawyerly, but here are the two
sections of the law that say you must get training
and it must be documented. "Covered entity" means
the healthcare company.
45 CFR § 164.308 - Administrative safeguards
(a)(5)(i) Standard: Security awareness and training.
Implement a security awareness and training program for
all members of its workforce (including management).
45 CFR § 164.530 - Administrative requirements
(b)(1) Standard: Training. A covered entity must train
all members of its workforce on the policies and procedures
with respect to protected health information required by
this subpart and subpart D of this part, as necessary and
appropriate for the members of the workforce to carry out
their functions within the covered entity...
(ii) A covered entity must document that the training
as described in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section has been
provided, as required by paragraph (j) of this section.
Clinic Nerds interpret the above legal quotes to mean that every employee
of a healthcare company must:
- Take a basic HIPAA course
- Have documented proof of having completed the course
Notes on the legal jargon:
The place where the HIPAA rules are written is the
CFR or Code of Federal Regulations.
"45 C.F.R. § 164.308" roughly translates as
"chapter 45, section 164, paragraph 308 ..."
This unusual symbol § is named the "double S" symbol
and means "section."
