HIPAA Privacy Manual for Employers
How-to guidance for complying with the HIPAA privacy rule.
HIPAA affects more than just the
healthcare industry. HIPAA outlines specific actions that employers
need to take in order to maintain the confidentiality of an
individual's protected health information (PHI).
Written in plain English and
tab-divided by subject, our HIPAA
Privacy Manual for Employers can help you understand your
organization's role and responsibilities under HIPAA (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996). You'll also learn:
- The different types of protected
health information (PHI)
- What info needs to be documented
- Who should receive training on PHI
- How to set up a compliance program
Our HIPAA Privacy Manual for
Employers uses a how-to-comply approach that walks you through
each step. It goes beyond being a reference manual and puts the
requirements in simple language to help employers ensure they are
taking the appropriate steps to set up and maintain compliance with
the privacy rules. It will help you answer questions like:
- To what extent does HIPAA apply to
my company?
- What do I need to do to comply?
- How do I maintain compliance once
I've established compliance?
The manual also includes HIPAA
regulations, checklists, definitions, FAQs, sample forms, and more!
