HIPAA Training
This page will list various HIPAA training options available to the
University at Buffalo community.
General orientation to HIPAA
 | Download the presentation for Students visiting clinical training sites
and UB personnel involved in research (.pdf
534KB 8/10/2012). This presentation meets UB's obligation to provide
students with a general orientation to HIPAA prior to their visiting
clinical training sites, and addresses HIPAA's impact on research in a
manner specific to UB researchers. Academic programs must retain
documentation of this training for students to demonstrate it was
administered as required in Student Training Clinical Affiliation Agreements
between UB and clinical training sites.
|
| Students: The key training points for UB students visiting
clinical training sites are: 1) know what Health Information, Individually
Identifiable Health Information and Protected Health Information is (see
definitions), 2)
know what identifiers need to be
removed to make PHI de-identified, 3) know that in general PHI may not be removed from a covered entity (in any format, electronic,
written, oral or otherwise), including for subsequent use in coursework;
removal of PHI in a manner not permitted by HIPAA will expose both the
student and the covered entity to HIPAA liability and substantial penalties,
4) you must receive a general orientation to HIPAA either from material on
this page or from your instructor and your academic program must document
that you have received this training, 5) you must also receive a HIPAA
orientation from the clinical site you are visiting if they are regulated by
HIPAA; such sites are mandated by HIPAA to provide this training.
|
| Researchers: The key training points for UB researchers are: The
UB research function is not governed by HIPAA no matter where the research
occurs, however, the acquisition of data may be. Use this
worksheet
to determine whether HIPAA related information release mechanisms are
required for your research. The UB IRBs will review protocols to
ensure they comply with the requirements of the worksheet and document this
as part of the protocol. Once the data has been acquired by the UB
research function (researcher) in a permitted manner, the data is no longer
governed by HIPAA. Researchers may not execute any HIPAA specific
contractual documents (business associate agreements, data use agreements);
see position and guidance sections on this
page.
