HIPAA Privacy and Security: Nutrition, Environmental Services, & Volunteer Staff - Overview

This course explains the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) privacy and security rules as applicable and relevant to nutrition, environmental services, and volunteer staff. It also addresses the HIPAA Omnibus Final Rule published in the Federal Register January 25, 2013 that finalized the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act’s modifications to the HIPAA privacy, security, breach notification and enforcement final rules. Access the final rule at http://tinyurl.com/auulp25.

Features and benefits of this course include:

  • Testing, remediation, and case studies provide feedback on whether learners are applying policies and regulations correctly.
  • “Test Your Knowledge” exercises check learner understanding at every step.
  • Second-year “refresher” series are available for ongoing annual refresher education needs.
  • Role-specific case scenarios apply regulations to real-life settings and ask learners how a situation should be handled. At the end of each scenario, users learn the appropriate way to react to the given situation.
  • Video-based scenarios show the “wrong way” and “right way” to handle a situation, increasing student engagement.
  • Design and audio narration offers different ways to navigate through the course so students are guided through interaction, not simple reading.
