CE Course Description

Summary of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) is a concise course which provides an overview of The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (“Privacy Rule”). The privacy rule establishes a set of national standards for the protection of certain health information. The resource material is provided by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and although it is not a source of legal information or advice, it is designed to give readers a summary of the requirements of the Privacy Rule. It also includes information on where to view the entire Rule, provides helpful material about how the rule applies, and would be an excellent resource for anyone in the medical or mental health field.
