HIPAA established a set of rules governing privacy and confidentiality of health care information for covered entities under HIPAA. The federal government has mandated compliance and employees must complete HIPAA training on privacy and confidentiality by April 13, 2003.

The final rule changes were released August 14, 2002. To read the new rules, go to: www.cms.hhs.gov/hipaa.

There are substantial penalties and fines for non-compliance. Training requirements under the HIPAA standard can be found here.
