How long does hipaa training take?
Being that I am an EMT and past nursing student, I have gone through HIPAA training multiple times. This course goes through the dos and don'ts when dealing with patient confidentiality and information. This course is usually no more than a one day course and will basically teach individuals taking the course that they can not share any medical information about a patient with anyone except for the patient without the patient's permission including personal information, health information, health status, where the patient is currently being treated, etc. All information about the patient is to be be kept confidential. You aren't even allowed to speak to other health care professionals about the patient unless they are directly involved in the patient's case. If you need to discuss a situation with another health care professional that isn't part of the case, you must keep all information about the patient generic so that the identity of the patient can not be discovered.
