Course: HIPAA Privacy and Security

  Section: Security: Administrative Safeguards

  Frame: 01 of 04



Finally, we put Administrative Safeguards in place to further protect electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI).

Our HIPAA Privacy and Security Policies and Procedures are part of those safeguards. So is this training. HIPAA requires us to develop rules and methods to make sure we abide by the law, to teach all of our staff and Business Associates about our Policies and Procedures, and to document what we do to enforce HIPAA.

We must sanction employees who violate the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules. Remember that you can be reprimanded or even fired if you are responsible for a security breach. If the breach is negligent or intentional, there can be further legal consequences.

HIPAA Security is a serious matter.
