HIPAA for Security Training:

Welcome to Missouri State University Health Insurance and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Training.

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 webpage to access and complete the Privacy training prior to the Security training.

What is HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, (HIPAA) Privacy Rule establishes the conditions under which protected health information may be used or disclosed by covered entities (such as Missouri State University) for security purposes. The general requirements ensure Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of personal health information for covered entities, such as Missouri State University. This became law April 20, 2005.

These general requirements applies to electronic Protected Health Information that a covered entity;

• Creates
• Maintains
• Receives and
• Transmits

It protects against reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of information.

Protects against reasonably anticipated uses and disclosures not permitted by the privacy rule.
