Healthcare is built on trust — and HIPAA is the legal framework that protects it. Understanding HIPAA compliance is no longer optional for healthcare workers, administrative staff, IT teams, or any organization that handles patient health information.
This course provides a thorough, practical guide to HIPAA — covering the full regulatory framework from the Privacy Rule and Security Rule to Breach Notification and Business Associate responsibilities. It is designed not just to tell you what HIPAA requires, but to help you apply those requirements in your daily work.
Through case studies drawn from real enforcement actions, you will understand exactly what kinds of mistakes lead to violations, how regulators respond, and what you personally can do to protect patient information in every interaction.
The course covers both covered entities (hospitals, clinics, insurers) and business associates (technology vendors, billing companies, legal firms) — making it relevant across the full healthcare ecosystem.
