Welcome to the ‘HIPAA: Advanced – Breach Notification Rule’ video course meant to explain how to recognize, assess, and report breaches of protected health information (PHI). This course comprises five video lessons that give you the basics about the Breach Notification Rule, describe impermissible actions regarding PHI, and explain how to notify affected individuals about breaches. As part of the HIPAA series, this course will aid covered entities, business associates, and employees and agents of covered organizations as they adhere to HIPAA in conjunction with regulations like the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) and the Privacy Rule. Even if you believe you are doing your job effectively, breaches can still happen as the result of miscommunication and mishandling of PHI. After viewing this course, employees will have the knowledge to be compliant with the Breach Notification Rule, recognize and prevent breaches, and ensure parties affected by breaches are timely and properly informed. To access your activity IDs, a View CE Certificate button will display on the profile upon completion of the course. This program is valid for 0.5 hour(s) of recertification credit through the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) and 0.5 PDU for the Project Management Institute (PMI).
