- When it comes to HIPAA, compliance, security and proof, many organizations have a mile-long list of decisions. Especially when you factor in auditing, fines, and HIPAA violations that are basically inevitable.
If an audit comes up, what documents do you need to prove that you have received HIPAA training? Would a certificate help prove that you completed training related to HIPAA training? Can a business become certified or just employees?
There are a few things to consider when trying to answer these questions. First, we need to talk about what the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has to say about the matter. After all, they are the ones who can impose heavy fines on your organization if you fail an audit. Second, we need to discuss the validity of a certificate and why it could be useful. Finally, we need to answer the question of the day: How do you become HIPAA certified?

The HHS says that compliance is an ongoing process and thus, they do not enforce any type of HIPAA-related certification. There isn’t even an official HHS-mandated certification process or accreditation. Their philosophy is that just because you are HIPAA compliant now doesn’t mean that your organization will be compliant five years from now.
So what happens if you have an audit coming around? How would certifications come into play? Well, the HHS states on its website that “Certifications do not absolve Covered Entities of their legal obligations under the Security Rule. Moreover, the performance of a “certification” by an external organization does not prevent HHS from subsequently finding a security violation.”
That being said, the HHS website specifically states that certification for healthcare employees is different from ones for Covered Entities. HIPAA certification for healthcare workers can serve as proof that employees have completed the training materials provided. In this respect, documented HIPAA certification for healthcare workers limits the liability of the organization in the event of a HIPAA violation or data breach caused by employee misconduct or data breach.
HIPAA does not require employees to complete any specific training program. That said, they do need to have training in some manner. Just because HIPAA doesn’t specify a specific training made by a specific company doesn’t mean that you don’t train your employees at all.
HIPAA also does not require employees to get a certification. This is because compliance does have an expiration date. You can also face legal consequences in the event of a breach even if you have taken the training.
It is important to note that certificates still act as proof of training. Proof of training and compliance is necessary and can be very useful. That’s why certifications are often provided when an employee completes a third-party training program. If the certificate has a signature and date, it helps act as proof that you completed the training for that year on time.
One option you can take is to hire a third party to provide HIPAA training. Since HIPAA compliance is so vital to healthcare organizations, many companies use a third-party company to provide employees with HIPAA training. Not only that, but a third party can also help implement effective compliance programs.HIPAA compliance experts create training that is relevant to the roles of the employees. They can also help provide proof that the training was completed. This is often done by issuing a certification to verify that employees have attended the HIPAA training course.
Of course, you could always make your training related to HIPAA laws and regulations. There are some problems with this strategy. This includes technicalities on the legal side of HIPAA along with the practical side of creating training.
If you forget to add some details to your HIPAA training, it can mean the difference between compliance and non-compliance. You might not even have a legal team that specializes in the complexities of HIPAA.
Time can be a major issue. Do you spend hours doing research, creating the presentations, and taking the time to present every time you hire someone new? Do you hire someone for the sole purpose of creating the training and evaluating the scores?
