HIPAA Documentation Training -You might think that compliance with HIPAA is mostly about documentation. If so, you would be partly correct, but you would be missing the big picture entirely. There is a significant amount of documentation required to comply with HIPAA because the Rules (Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification) require that you perform a significant number of tasks. It is recording the performance of these tasks that drives the majority of HIPAA documentation.
We like to use the HIPAA equation as a metaphor for what an organization needs to have in place for each requirement in the Rules. If you have policies, processes, and tracking mechanisms in place for each requirement then you have visible, demonstrable evidence of compliance and you are on your way to establishing a culture of compliance.
Tracking process results, at the granularity level of a requirement, is what drives HIPAA documentation. Sure, you will have to develop policies and document your processes but this documentation pales in comparison to tracking process results.
This training module walks you through all the HIPAA documentation requirements Rule-by-Rule: (1) Privacy Rule; (2) Security Rule; and (3) Breach Notification Rule.
