HIPAA training requirements.
The addition of security standard training requirements increases the complexity of HIPAA implementation and ongoing program management. In comparison to the expectations of the Privacy Rule, security elements are more numerous and complicated--they also represent new territory for the radiology manager, who may be encountering a new language and unfamiliar technological terminology. The deadline for compliance with the Security Standard is April 21, 2005. It is, therefore, important to review training expectations as part of overall HIPAA compliance preparations.
