Leading Pathogen Detection Company Biotia Provides Chpse HIPAA Credential To Employees For HIPAA Compliance
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 23, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pioneering pathogen detection company Biotia provides HIPAA training for employees so they may achieve the Certified HIPAA Privacy Security Expert (CHPSE) credential to meet HIPAA compliance
Biotia announces its increased focus on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the federal law that protects patient health information.
By providing in-depth HIPAA training and subsequent certification to several employees who play a key role in HIPAA compliance, Biotia is well-equipped to address the intricacies and ever-changing requirements of HIPAA.
In particular, Joe Barrows, Director of Software Engineering, underwent and successfully completed an intensive 22-hour HIPAA training course through https://www.hipaatraining.net, a leading provider of HIPAA compliance solutions. After course completion, Barrows successfully passed a two-hour timed exam to validate his knowledge and become a Certified HIPAA Privacy Security Expert (CHPSE).
As a CHPSE, Barrows fully understands the HIPAA privacy and security rules as well as new changes to the regulation in light of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. HITECH mandated new requirements for sharing protected health information with business associates, for ensuring identity theft protection, for using and disclosing protected health information for marketing purposes, and for reporting breaches of protected health information.
The CHPSE credential denotes that Barrows has an in-depth knowledge of the application of the HIPAA privacy rule as it relates to the uses and disclosures of protected health information (PHI). This includes using and disclosing PHI for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations as well as disclosure for public purposes. As a CHPSE, Barrows also has an in-depth knowledge of the application of the HIPAA security rule as it relates to the security of PHI. Barrows can identify technical or electronic threats to the healthcare enterprise and explain the technology available to reduce or prevent those threats. He has received advanced training in the topics of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards and is able to develop policies and procedures to describe those safeguards and address larger risk management strategies.
The CHPSE credential signifies that Barrows is an expert in overall HIPAA compliance. He is able to evaluate whether policies and procedures are HIPAA-compliant and ensure that Biotia is taking every possible step to protect the privacy and security of protected health information.
