Episode 311: [Compliance] HIPAA Training for your Team – Requirements and Best Practices

Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we’re busting myths about HIPAA training requirements for group practices.

We discuss training requirements in terms of the Privacy Rule and Security Rule (and the distinctions between them); when training is required; suggestions to keep training uniform; what resources are available for you and your teams; utilizing tools that are already in your tech stack; compliance documentation; preventing burnout; and having a strong security culture in your practice.
