Course overview
Having your personal information exposed is a worrying thought, right? Things like identity theft and fraud are real possibilities. In healthcare, the personal information held for patients is very sensitive. But to successfully treat patients, health information will likely need to be shared with various clinicians and healthcare workers. That means it has the potential to be easily exposed. And that creates a big problem: How do you keep patient data safe?
Thanks to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), there are rules and regulations to make sure personal information doesn’t get exposed. Handling “Protected Health Information,” or PHI, correctly is a legal duty for all healthcare workers. And it carries pretty big penalties if they get it wrong. So, it’s vital that everyone understands what must be protected and how. This course will help.
