Why must I take this training?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) contains regulations that govern privacy, security and electronic transactions standards for Protected Health Information (PHI). These regulations became effective April 14, 2003, and require that all members of the University-covered entity complete job-specific training. OSHA also requires annual training for all employees.
