This presentation gets to the real intent of the HIPAA training requirements and gives practical advice both for regulatory compliance and for boosting privacy and security program effectiveness. Many healthcare organizations subject to HIPAA federal regulations fall short in their privacy and security training programs today. But people are the weakest link when it comes to good security. Security professionals and NIST Special Publications agree that effective and repeated training is necessary for employees and other staff to consistently follow good privacy and security practices and behavior.
