DWC - Online Training
If you are having trouble with an online course or training video, please try a different browser and if you are still having difficulties then please contact our DWC Help Desk.
This training provides a basic introduction to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy and Security Rules. Your employer can and should have policies and procedures that are tailored to its particular functions. You should become familiar with those mandates that are exclusive to your institution. You may select the HIPAA course that best suits your needs and job duties. If you work at the supervisory level or higher, you should consider completing HIPAA Intermediate or HIPAA Comprehensive instead of this module.
It is important to note the rules and laws governing confidentiality do not preclude a mandated reporter from reporting to the appropriate authorities when someone is being abused or neglected, is abusing or neglecting someone in their dependent care, or is demonstrating suicidal ideation.
