¶ … Online HIPAA Training changed how you view ethical principles and professional responsibilities within the human services profession?
The Online HIPAA Training has reinforced the importance and responsibility that I feel as my role of practitioner within the human service profession. The websites have made me more aware of the numerous contacts that I influence and the huge ramifications of my role. As the National Organization for Human Services has observed:
[Human service professionals] enter into professional-client relationships with individuals, families, groups and communities who are all referred to as "clients" in these standards. Among their roles are caregiver, case manager, broker, teacher/educator, behavior changer, consultant, outreach professional, mobilizer, advocate, community planner, community change organizer, evaluator and administrator.
HIPAA regulations have reinforced my acknowledgment of the fact that the client is in a vulnerable position -- this is no equal situation of friendship -- and that I cannot take advantage of his vulnerability. Perception of the fact that this is a 'different' sort of relationship provides it with a certain hallowedness and uniqueness that...
My behavior is more respectful to the client, but at the same time I am more detached perceiving him or her as a client who has to be respected. With the HIPAA regulations in mind, I am less likely to be personally hurt by the client since the relationship assumes more of a detached impersonal stance. On the contrary, personal hurt should make me suspect my professional stance and conduct.
The principles seem to flow from one another: confidentiality protects the relationship and emphasizes its uniqueness. The practitioner steps out of himself -- it is as though he is diminished -- and steps into the client. The client fills the room; the practitioner, in order to most effectively help him, has to give him his undivided attention.
And yet I realized that counseling is far more than a small cocoon between client and practitioner. Rather, ac practitioner becomes far larger and, like an amoeba, elongates into the outside world. The client, plastic as he is, involves many more worlds (her community, family etc.) and the practitioner, helping the client, is helping those worlds too.

HIPAA Compliance Training of Nursing Services Staff Curriculum Development - HIPAA Educational need and rationale. The primary educational need of nurses at Heart of Lancaster Regional Medical Center is training in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Nursing Research HIPAA Proposal Patient privacy protection is a cornerstone of any patient bill of rights and is a major goal of any nurse or medical professional. Without privacy, the basis of trust necessary to facilitate patient healing simply can not occur. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) increasingly dominates the nursing landscape. Safeguarding private patient information is not just important. It is the law. HIPAA provides

Healthcare Management -- Discussion Questions Communication strategies are very important when it comes to promoting the practice of healthcare delivery and ensuring that customer service is offered at the highest level. If a person does not communicate well it can harm him or her both personally and professionally. However, that is still a rather isolated issue that is generally considered to be self-limiting in nature. With companies, and especially with healthcare
" (Harman, Flite, and Bond, 2012) the key to the preservation of confidentiality is "making sure that only authorized individuals have access to that information. The process of controlling access -- limiting who can see what -- begins with authorizing users." (Harman, Flite, and Bond, 2012) Employers are held accountable under the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules for their employee's actions.

In addition, the workload on clinicians is often increased past the point of reasonable because it is too intrusive and time consuming to document patient encounters during clinic time (Grabenbauer, Skinner, and Windle, 2011). The amount of information that can accumulate in a patient's record from multiple sources can be daunting and lead to information overload. CDS alerts can be so common that clinicians begin to ignore them.
