Do You Need to Build a Privacy Awareness Training Plan in your Healthcare Practice?
A practical privacy awareness training plan will save time for clinic managers, and it will manage risks with employee compliance and buy-in.
Build a privacy awareness training plan! Privacy awareness training is more than a checklist when new employees are hired.
As an employer and health care provider, you are responsible to provide training to all your employees about privacy awareness.
Your privacy officer should have direct involvement in the planning and monitoring of the privacy awareness training. The privacy officer may also:
- Facilitate training opportunities
- Develop / contribute to policies and procedures
- Monitor for compliance
- Provide instructions
- Implement specific projects
If you don’t provide the training – and if your employees don’t understand the policies – and there is a privacy breach, then the healthcare provider is more likely to be held accountable under the legislation and face penalties including fines and even prison!
Protect your organization and your patients. Equip your staff with the information they need to confidently and correctly handle personal health information. Healthcare businesses who want employee and supervisor level privacy awareness training to support key policies, procedures and risk management programs need a privacy awareness training program.
