Missouri State HIPAA Privacy & Security Training

Missouri State University
HIPAA Security Training

Training Program Overview
Welcome to Missouri State University Health Insurance and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Training. This online program is designed to provide you with:

	An overview of the Health Insurance and Accountability Act and the enactment of the Security Rule for covered entities
	Outline your responsibilities as a member of a Missouri State Covered Entity
	Provide a 24/7 online resource for information on HIPAA and the responsibilities of our faculty, staff, and students who are members of covered entities.
	Contact Information for your University and Unit Security Officers

Security and privacy are not new concepts. The federal HIPAA Security Rule requires additional training, new policies and procedures for the Security Rule portion of the law. If you have not completed the HIPAA Privacy Training, please go back to the Health Information Privacy website to access and complete the Privacy training prior to the Security training.

Many of you May be required to also attend Departmental level training to learn about specific processes and procedures that have been implemented in your Unit for safeguarding Electronic Protected Health Information (EPHI) and enforcing the HIPAA Security Rule.

The running time for this training program is about 25 minutes but I would recommend allowing 60 minutes to complete the program and to review the Missouri State HIPAA Security Rule Manual that is linked to this training for additional information. A text only version of the script is also available.

Additional Resources
Listed below are resources that provide additional information on the policies and procedures for safeguarding the security and integrity of EPHI and for implementing the HIPAA Security Rule:

	The Missouri State Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Security Manual which is a "How -To" Implementation Guide for Unit Security Officers and members of covered entities. This document is in draft format.
	The National Institute of Standards and Technology Special (NIST) Publication 800-30 - "Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems". Chapter 3 of this publication outlines the Risk Assessment process required for compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule. Figure 3-1 on page 9 of this document illustrates the risk assessment process in a an easy to follow flowchart. This chapter and flowchart will assist the Unit Security Officers in conducting and documenting risk analysis process and findings for their individual units.
	The National Institute of Standards and Technology Special (NIST) Publication 800-66 - "An Introductory Resource Guide for Implementing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule".
