Deadline Approaches
Reminder: Mandatory HIPAA Training for All GSM Employees Effective April 20, 2005 the Graduate School of Medicine is required by federal law to comply with the HIPAA Security Rule, which protects the privacy and security of health information stored electronically. The Security Rule includes a requirement that we train our entire workforce on how to protect electronic health information. This requirement means that all GSM employees (including office and administrative staff, residents, and faculty) are required to participate in the training.
A workgroup of your fellow GSM faculty and staff has been working for several months to insure our compliance and has developed a training program which will take you approximately 20 minutes to complete.
At the end of the training you will take a five-question quiz to verify your participation. A score of 3/5 questions is a passing score.
Deadline: Everyone must complete training by April 20, 2005.
