HIPAA Training

Is your EAP ready for HIPAA? These regulations apply to EAPs more than you may have thought. EAPs and their affiliate networks operate under a wide variety of business models, which can potentially be defined as health care plans, health care providers or business associates. To make effective decisions about compliance, you must first understand the regulations and their impact in order to make decisions about they apply to you or your organization. The deadline for compliance with the Privacy and Security portion of the regulations is April, 2003. Our newest training program will help you prepare.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 was enacted to assure the privacy of individual’s identifiable health information, to provide greater operational efficiencies and to ultimately improve the delivery of healthcare services. Healthcare organizations will be required to fulfill the following:

Manage the use of and access to personal health information
Implement HIPAA compliant policies/procedures and business processes
Educate and train staff

Marilyn Gaipa created this training for Blair Consulting Group with a special emphasis on how internal and external EAPs will be affected by HIPAA regulations. This one-day course provides EA professionals with an overview of the regulations’ history and purpose and what to know in beginning to implement compliance within their organizations.
