HIPAA Coach was created to offer current and comprehensive HIPAA training. Our objective is to serve as a reliable and authoritative resource on HIPAA-related matters, catering to the informational needs of individuals, organizations, and businesses impacted by HIPAA. Our efforts are directed towards assisting in the prevention of data breaches, safeguarding personal data privacy, and aiding entities in adhering to the strict financial compliance requirements stipulated by this legislative act.
To help HIPAA-covered bodies be compliant with the relevant state and federal legislation in relation to managing and using Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII), we have put together a comprehensive HIPAA Coaching and advice section. This section includes all the guidance that you require in your attempts to ensure you are adhering.
There is also a news section which we update constantly. It contains news reports regarding HIPAA breaches, amendments and all other relevant news stories for HIPAA.
HIPAA Coach is dedicated to publishing the latest information on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act when it becomes available. Our information articles are written by skilled and experienced reporters.
HIPAA Coach Partnership with ComplianceJunction
ComplianceJunction is widely recognized as the leading provider of HIPAA training, offering the best and most comprehensive programs in the industry. Their training solutions are not only accredited, ensuring that the curriculum meets rigorous industry standards, but also include essential continuing education units (CEUs), which support ongoing professional development. An aspect of effective HIPAA training is the inclusion of modules on social media use to help prevent costly violations, as well as robust, healthcare-specific cybersecurity training tailored to the unique responsibilities of staff managing protected health information (PHI) and medical records. Unlike self-attestation, which often fails because learners are not held accountable, ComplianceJunction emphasizes measurable outcomes through pre-training and post-training testing of a representative group of employees. This approach is the only reliable method to verify that HIPAA awareness and compliance levels have genuinely improved across an organization.
