Mental health clinicians foster health in our clients wherever they are in the process, and we need the correct tools to help us do that. With the expansion of the HIPAA and HITECH laws as well as greater adoption of modern tech, mental health clinicians need to expand an important skill for professional practice: security.

We are already security experts, really! How many people do you know who care about locking file cabinets or can keep track of which stories they heard this week that are strictly confidential and which can be gossiped about freely? And we already understand the vital security skill of risk assessment, which is step 1 in the 3 steps to HIPAA Security Rule compliance.

In this course, we will apply our already existing expertise in security and client attunement to methods of complying with HIPAA and, often more importantly, protecting our clients and our practices. We will learn the 3 steps to HIPAA Security compliance and get started in the path to implementing those 3 steps in our practices.

Learning objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Describe important internet security challenges and solutions
  • List three components of compliance with HIPAA

One CE is available for attending this webinar. The webinar and CE are free.
