Free HIPAA Compliance Training
HIPAA training is one of the most important aspects of HIPAA compliance. But why is this so? Well, how can employees be expected to follow the HIPAA regulations if they don’t know what they are? HIPAA compliance training provides employees with a HIPAA introduction including how to recognize protected health information (PHI), proper uses and disclosures of PHI, how to keep PHI secure, and how to report a breach of PHI.
Most companies charge people simply for employee HIPAA training classes when training is not enough for your organization to be HIPAA compliant. HIPAA compliance also requires organizations to conduct annual self-audits, implement remediation plans, have written policies and procedures, have signed business associate agreements, and implement incident management.

Why HIPAA Training is Not Enough
While using free or paid HIPAA compliance training is a good start, there are many important aspects of compliance that online HIPAA training courses cannot cover. This is the training material that is specific to your organization. Part of HIPAA annual training requirements highlight the necessity to train your employees on your organization’s internal privacy and security policies and procedures. As each organization is required to have unique HIPAA policies and procedures to meet their specific needs, free HIPAA training programs cannot feasibly offer this.
As part of Compliancy Group’s total HIPAA compliance solution, clients are provided with all of the training materials required by HIPAA, including training on your organization’s HIPAA policies and procedures (custom HIPAA policies and procedures are also part of our package!). Our HIPAA training software allows administrators to oversee their staff training by enabling progress tracking for each employee. At the end of each HIPAA training class, employees’ knowledge is tested through a series of questions. Proof of each employees’ completed training is stored in our HIPAA training software, with their legal attestations that they understand and agree to adhere to the training material.
