This 5 module course (15 CE credits) introduces the learner to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and how it supports optimal care. Learners will further their knowledge about how HIPAA protects privacy and security of health data, provides protection against data breaches and supports client access to their own health information.
The course is assessed using practical applications of HIPAA rules and principles in nursing practice. Throughout the course, nurses are encouraged to explore how HIPAA provides tangible guidelines that enhance practice settings. This course is personalized, self-paced and taken entirely online in the privacy and comfort of your own home or office.
