#3 Beacon Partners
"HIPAA Training - Does One Size Fit All?"
Although HIPAA education and training must certainly be underway in covered entities; this is only the beginning. Awareness education is vital for HIPAA compliance but keep in mind that the regulations stress the need for continual training on HIPAA related policies and procedures. As your workforce changes, training must be developed to reflect this change. New employees will need HIPAA training and even internal position changes may require additional training on policies and procedures appropriate for that new role. And finally, one training session does not provide ample education or provide protection against HIPAA breaches.
Beacon's presentation will be valuable for the management and success of HIPAA compliance through workforce training. One size does NOT fit all and therefore this presentation will provide an array of training approaches. Your organization may decide that a single approach will provide a positive outcome or may need a full complement of approaches to satisfy the requirements. The presentation will focus on the following topics:
- HIPAA Expectations for Workforce Training
- Why Train
- Case Studies Outlining Training Options
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: All Health Care Organizations required to provide HIPAA mandated awareness training to their staff
