HIPAA Survival Guide® September 2018 Webinar

  

Description:  HIPAA Education: Learning HIPAA in an Attention Deficit Digital World!

 

September's webinar will describe and provide examples of how to quickly come up to speed on the HIPAA Regulations through HIPAA "Shorts!" It will also continue to explore the meta-concept of "How much HIPAA training is enough!" that was initiated and well-received in the August webinar.

Last month's newsletter and webinar (HIPAA Education: How much is enough?) explored this idea (Handouts can be obtained here). However, what we didn't make clear is that we will be exploring this idea over the next several months. It's a meta-concept. One newsletter and webinar is not nearly enough to cover the topic. Moreover, we intend for this exploration to be interactive. This is not a series of "lectures" but rather a series of interactive sessions with audience participation where we jointly and collaboratively iterate in an attempt to find an answer that approximate the reality for your specific organization. Each organization is different. This topic is the canonical example of a wicked problem. There is not a one-size-fits-all answer.

Learning HIPAA in an Attention Deficit Digital World?

 

INTRODUCTION

Universally employees complain about not having enough training, or the right training, in just about any subject matter domain you can name. HIPAA is no different. We know! We have literally trained thousands of customers in HIPAA over the last 10 years, including most of our competitors. Having said that we still get the same comments: (1) it's too legalistic; (2) it's not dumbed down enough; (3) it's more for compliance officers than for clinicians; (4) it's too long, etc. Are these customers right? Yes and no. Why? Because it's impossible to design comprehensive training in a manner that will be best, or even satisfactorily suited, for all audiences. 

But do customers get significant value from our training? Absolutely, that's why they buy. This newsletter only uses our training as a point of reference. We are responding to the market by adding a series of HIPAA Training Modules for Clinicians. But that's also not the subject matter of this newsletter. 

 

What this newsletter wants to explore is the question of learning "modalities." We have all heard of them: (1) visual learners; (2) auditory learners; (3) tactile/kinesthetic learners, etc. These have been explored by researchers in breadth and depth for years now.

However, what we want to explore in this newsletter, and in a series of upcoming products, is a different modality that we call "Shorts" but they go by a number of different monikers, including but not limited to the following: (1) bite-size learning modules; (2) short learning modules; and (3) micro-learning. The essence of Shorts is to take complex subject matter domains such as the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules, and break them up into smaller pieces to make them more accessible; to make them more digestible; to make them "fill in the learning metaphor de jure."

The most interesting question for us (it's all fascinating) is what is the core learning dynamic (i.e. modality) in play? Why would taking an hour-long course and breaking it down in 15 minutes segments make it more accessible? Why would a 15-minute "Concept Short" broken down into 5 three minute "Idea Shorts" improve learning? Moreover what the difference between a "Concept Short" and an "Idea Short" and why should it matter. Who defined this grammar and why should we pay attention to these distinctions?

The rest of the article will attempt to answer these questions with real-world examples that hopefully most of you can relate to. For example, assume that our Privacy Rule Training takes about an hour for the on-demand video to play. Assume further that you wanted to take the "open powerpoint" exam after watching the video. The exam is comprised of 20 True/False questions with a passing grade of 70. The latter being your organization's policy. Assume further, that as a job requirement (i.e. a term and condition in your employment contract) you needed to take all HIPAA training on your own time. So this hypothetical assumes that you need two hours time to get through the Privacy Rule.

Finally assume that you are a recently graduated nurse, 27 years old, with a husband (or wife) and a small child at home. In other words, you are crazy busy.

 

THE ROAD AHEAD

We believe that the answer to these questions lie more with the attention deficit digital world that we all now inhabit than with any significant breakthrough vis-à-vis a new learning modality (e.g. micro-learning). Millennials, especially if you believe the literature, prefer to learn via "Shorts" for the same reason that they prefer to shop online (something most of us now prefer); because it saves time.

You may not have two hours to dedicate to learning the Privacy Rule in a comprehensive overview including taking a 20 question T/F test. However, you (i.e. the hypothetical nurse above) may have 15 minutes a night that you can squeeze in to watch a Privacy Rule "concept short." Watch all four concept shorts and you are ready to take the exam! Learning a little bit at a time takes into consideration the fact that none of us have enough time to do the necessary tasks we need to do, let alone extra things we might want to do.

If you come home from a full day's work, fighting traffic, and want to spend some quality time with your spouse and children then there's very little time left for anything else. Remember that "quality time," as used in this example, does not include preparing or "fetching" dinner, helping the kids with homework or taking them to baseball practice. OK everyone in the audience has time commitments that differ from our hypothetical nurse, but the story remains the same. For other reasons, you still do not have enough time in the day to complete all the things you need to get done.

So much for work-life balance. The majority of knowledge workers spend some time at night and weekends just to keep up. It's the 24/7 365 connected world that we live in that forces this reality upon us. Now having said that, we do not want to be dismissive of "Shorts" as a new learning modality. Far from it. None of us at 3Lions Publishing have PHDs in education nor have we performed an exhaustive review of the literature. There may be something that cognitively improves the learning process if shorts are used. We will leave that to the academics to sort out.

What we know for a fact, is that the marketplace is demanding this type of training. We believe that the marketplace, in the aggregate, has figured something out that it will take academics years to corroborate (and to supply a theory that underpins it). Therefore having trained thousands in the HIPAA regulations, we intend to evolve our training into shorter and shorter "chunks" that we know are more digestible for an attention deficit consumer. However, we do not believe that these types of training are mutually exclusive. Quite the opposite.

CONCLUSION

We look forward to rolling out our "Shorts" with a more interactive webinar experience that we pioneered last month. We will have more situational training exercises. We will focus more on the conveyance of "news that you can use" in "bite-size chunks." We intend to take the lessons learned from training thousands on HIPAA to innovate how HIPAA (and other compliance regimes) are taught. We hope that you join us on this journey.

 

Examples of HIPAA Survival Guide Training

Foundational Training for Other Staff The following list of training modules is recommended for other workforce members, including the executive management team.   Privacy Rule Training  Security Rule Training  Breach Notification Training  Social Media Training  Mobile Devices Training I have been asked if there is a HIPAA LITE for Business Associates, and the answer is No! Business Associates need to be as aware of the regulations as Covered Entities if they are "touching PHI." That said, we also provide specialized training for Business Associates in situations where their needs differ from Covered Entities (see below). Business Associate Training Security Rule for Business Associates

 

Specific Training for Compliance Officers   In addition to the training above, compliance officers should consider taking the following training classes to obtain their certification. We offer a HIPAA Certified Professional ("HCP") certification after taking an exam that covers material from the training modules listed below. Certification Training Modules 1.    Breach Notification 2.    Business Associate 3.    Audit 4.    Breach Notification Audit 5.    Privacy Rule Audit 6.    Security Rule Audit 7.    Documentation*  8.    HITECH Act   9.    Omnibus Rule 10.  Privacy Rule 11.  Security Rule 12.  Risk Assessment 13.  Risk Management 14.  Social Media Best Practices 15.  Mobile Best Practices We also recommend that Compliance Officers who have our HIPAA Survival Guide Subscription Plan, take advantage of a pre-recorded four-part training series entitled: "Surviving a HIPAA Audit." Subscribers may log in to the Compliance Hub Member website to: Download the HIPAA Handbook: A Definitive Guide of Articles that contains over 400 pages of articles with an index of topics, and Saved Webinar Recordings. Non-subscribers can download the HIPAA Handbook: A Definitive Guide of Articles from the HIPAA Survival Guide Store. For some, the amount of information may be overwhelming, but just like HIPAA, you bite off a piece of the elephant one at a time.

 

Specialty Workforce Training   Finally, we recommend that staff who are responsible for items in the list below, and Compliance Officers and/or Executive Officers become knowledgeable on the following topics: Training for workforce members that are designated as "point persons" for the Patient's Bill of Rights; these are sections 164.520 through 164.528 of the Privacy Rule.  The regulations require that individuals "sign off" on certain processes pertaining to providing access to a patient's PHI;  Helping a patient amend their PHI;  Distributing the notice of privacy practices, etc. Training for individuals that handle Privacy Rule requests for authorizations, restrictions, etc. Training for personnel assigned the responsibility of tracking security incidents. Training for information technology personnel that are required to audit information systems containing PHI. Training for personnel that are assigned the responsibility for disposing of PHI. This is not an exhaustive list. The "final" list of training will depend on your operational environment, the size and complexity of your organization, and the resources you have available, etc. One thing is certain, look for training that provides answers, not just a description of the problems.

Does your staff have sufficient HIPAA training?

 

Determining the amount of adequate training is not an easy question because the answer is highly dependent on the individual and the organization. Individuals often claim that vendor training provides only the problems, but not the solutions. That is a missed opportunity because if you know the problem and don't have an adequate answer, you're likely to be faced with difficulty responding and potentially encounter an Incident, Breach, or unauthorized disclosure of Protected Health Information ("PHI"). In this article, we describe aspects of what may be considered "good training" and what kind of training we make available so that you can compare across vendors.

 

You need answers! In our view, if you do not succeed in establishing compliance literacy in your workforce, you are likely going to have an occasional bad day, not to mention being out of compliance with the HIPAA regulations for training and associated documentation. As expressly stated in HHS' Audit Protocol, policies and procedures that have been adopted and activated by covered entities and business associates to meet selected standards are reviewed to determine an organization's implementation specifications of the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. Training, by the way, is one of the Privacy Rule Regulations. 

If you are audited, one of the things that will be reviewed is your training documentation. Yes, seems this is a small item compared to your Risk Assessment and other Compliance efforts. However, Covered Entities ("CE") and Business Associates ("BA") must train all members of their workforce regarding PHI as it applies and as necessary to perform their jobs. Compliance with Privacy Rule regulation 164.530(b) requires policies and procedures for training and to document which staff member was trained on what topic and when.

 

From a practical standpoint, when it comes to training, it's not enough to have an understanding of the regulations, but also training should provide the ability to evaluate responses to a variety of situations where PHI may be at risk. Training that provides hypothetical risk situations related to HIPAA regulations that prevent incidents or breaches and/or a Quiz regarding knowledge obtained is a component of quality education.

 

But is HIPAA a top priority for a CEO's average day? Probably not, unless there is an Incident or a Breach. The same is likely true for other executives in your organization. Aside from the regulation requirement, this is a VERY good reason why a named Compliance Officer should be in each Covered Entity and Business Associate's organization. A Compliance Officer has the responsibility to ensure that policies and procedures are being followed by the workforce to avoid non-compliance. And yes, the Compliance Officer ensures policies for training and the visible, demonstrable evidence for same.

 

So, how much training is really needed? For the purpose of this article, we will use the HIPAA Training Products contained within our Subscription Plan as training recommendation topics for different categories of workforce members. Again, remember our principal premise is that all workforce members need to become HIPAA literate since you have the 800-pound gorilla of Breach Notification staring you in the face.

 

Training for Clinicians

Not all staff members need to attend or be educated for every HIPAA training module. We recommend three (3) training sessions for clinicians as listed below:

• Security Rule Training for Clinicians
• Privacy Rule Training for Clinicians (coming soon!)
• Breach Notification Training for Clinicians (coming soon!)

Why do we recommend specific training for clinicians? Well, I can say as a Registered Nurse, clinicians do not need to understand every aspect of the regulations. What they need to know is how to respond to various threats to PHI or situations where compliance action is required. They need an awareness and a basic understanding of Security, Privacy, and Breach Notification regulations that will enable prevention of risks while managing situations when HIPAA rules are tested. 

 

A particular item of importance is knowing WHO to call when a situation arises. The same is true for Business Associates. You might be surprised at the number of times I have randomly asked clinicians the name of their HIPAA Compliance Officer and they did not know. That's a recipe for a bad day! Try this yourself next time you visit your doctor. Ask the receptionist or the nurse, or any other clinician or workforce member you encounter if they know the name of their Compliance Officer. By the way, this is generally true of organizations both large and small, even those that regularly train their employees.

 

Foundational Training for Other Staff

The following list of training modules is recommended for other workforce members, including the executive management team. 

• Privacy Rule Training
• Security Rule Training
• Breach Notification Training
• Social Media Training
• Mobile Devices Training

I have been asked if there is a HIPAA LITE for Business Associates, and the answer is No! Business Associates need to be as aware of the regulations as Covered Entities if they are "touching PHI." That said, we also provide specialized training for Business Associates in situations where their needs differ from Covered Entities (see below).

• Business Associate Training
• Security Rule for Business Associates

 

 

Specific Training for Compliance Officers

In addition to the training above, compliance officers should consider taking the following training classes to obtain their certification. We offer a HIPAA Certified Professional ("HCP") certification after taking an exam that covers material from the training modules listed below.

 

 

Certification Training Modules
1.    Breach Notification 2.    Business Associate 3.    Audit 4.    Breach Notification Audit 5.    Privacy Rule Audit 6.    Security Rule Audit 7.    Documentation*  8.    HITECH Act	9.    Omnibus Rule 10.  Privacy Rule 11.  Security Rule 12.  Risk Assessment 13.  Risk Management 14.  Social Media Best Practices 15.  Mobile Best Practices

 

We also recommend that Compliance Officers take advantage of our pre-recorded four-part training series entitled: "Surviving a HIPAA Audit." Subscribers may log in to the Compliance Hub Member website to:

• Download the HIPAA Handbook: A Definitive Guide of Articles that contains over 400 pages of articles with an index of topics, and
• Saved Webinar Recordings.

For some, the amount of information may be overwhelming, but just like HIPAA, you bite off a piece of the elephant one at a time.

 

Specialty Workforce Training

Finally, we recommend that staff who are responsible for items in the list below, and Compliance Officers and/or Executive Officers become knowledgeable on the following topics:

1. Training for workforce members that are designated as "point persons" for the Patient's Bill of Rights; these are sections 164.520 through 164.528 of the Privacy Rule. 
   • The regulations require that individuals "sign off" on certain processes pertaining to providing access to a patient's PHI; 
   • Helping a patient amend their PHI; 
   • Distributing the notice of privacy practices, etc.
2. Training for individuals that handle Privacy Rule requests for authorizations, restrictions, etc.
3. Training for personnel assigned the responsibility of tracking security incidents.
4. Training for information technology personnel that are required to audit information systems containing PHI.
5. Training for personnel that are assigned the responsibility for disposing of PHI.

This is not an exhaustive list.

Public Webinar - HIPAA Education: How much is enough?

With over 200 registrants, August 16th was a flagship webinar: HIPAA Education: How much training is enough? We also tested the use of a polling process in the webinar to engage attendees.  

Those who participated later commented that the opportunity to have practical examples of how one might respond to a HIPAA Incident was valuable. The practical nature of the poll and subsequent discussions with Q&A enabled individual questions to be addressed from a legal perspective. Participants found that legal explanations for their questions gave a better understanding of how the HIPAA Regulations can be put to use in various situations.

Future webinars will be presented in this manner, so we hope you'll join us by signing up for the FREE HIPAA Survival Guide Newsletter to be notified of pending webinars that are generally held on the 3rd Thursday of each month.

Due to the high number of registrants and some who were unable to attend, we are making this Video public. Handouts and the Webinar Video can be downloaded from the links below.
