HIPAA Training

You may or may not be aware that HIPAA training is required on an ANNUAL BASIS by the SOM and powers that be.

HIPAA training is now a part of your yearly employee review process (see quote below from the SOM Associate Dean for Human Resources):

"The School of Medicine requires all employees to update HIPAA training on an annual basis. In an effort to assist management, HIPAA Compliance Officers and HIPAA Coordinators track this requirement, it is now required that all SOM SPA and EPA Non-Faculty employees have mandatory training requirements stated in the Development Plans/Work Performance Plans.

EPA faculty will be responsible for completing ongoing HIPAA training, as well. Completion of such training should be included as a component of the annual review process conducted by the Chair or his/her designee."

To see when you last completed your HIPAA training, go to: http://hipaatrain.med.unc.edu/cgi-bin/hipaa/hipaacertificate.pl and fill in your PID #.
