How to Create a Successful HIPAA Training Program
Assess your organizations risks and vulnerabilities
Start by assessing what your organization’s risk landscape looks like, this would include looking at things like potential human error and technical failures. For example, if your organization handles protected health information (PHI) online or using cloud technology, making sure your employees are trained on cybersecurity risk would be a top priority. If you’re in a healthcare facility where physical files exist and employees are required to communicate with each other about individuals PHI, ensuring your training program teaches them how to handle physical records and how to communicate private information safely needs to be first on the list. Check out this article to learn more about compliance best practices and getting started with your training program.
Define KPI’s for Your Program
It’s crucial to know how you will measure the success and progress of your training program. Some useful KPI’s you can use to get started are:
Completion rates – measuring what percentage of employees complete the entire program, and how quickly, will help you gauge its initial effectiveness.
Knowledge retention- post training knowledge assessments can be a great way to see how well employees are retaining the content they’re consuming through your training program and if you need to make any adjustments.
Behavioral changes – whether self-reported or reported through on-the-job observation, changes in behavior will give you a great idea of how much positive impact your training is having.

Incorporate Tailored and Engaging Training Content
Compliance training doesn’t have to be long and dull. When choosing the content provider you will be using for your program, make sure to vet the content yourself and look for things like micro learning formatted video lessons (10 min or less), up-to-date content with current references, gamification, and post-training reinforcements. Incorporating these types of learning formats into your program will boost your learner engagement, deliver higher value for your employees, and ultimately keep your organization safe and compliant. Read more about choosing the right content for your organization in this article.
Evaluate and Adjust Your Program
It’s very important that you do this early and often. There are many templates and frameworks to evaluate the progress and impact of training programs such as the Kirkpatrick model, Ciro Model, Phillips ROI model and more. Picking one of these frameworks can be useful given that they will guide you through the different steps of collecting data from your training program and how to draw out insights from it. Just as importantly, make sure you use the information you collect from continuous program evaluation to make constant adjustments to your program; this will ensure that the training that is delivered to your employees is highly impactful.

FAQs About HIPAA Training for Your Organization
What organizations are subject to HIPAA regulations?
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a federal ordinance, and it applies to two main types of organizations:
- Covered Entities (CE’s): Organizations that are directly involved in creating Protected Health Information (PHI) such as health care providers, health care clearinghouses, and insurance plans.
- Business Associates (BA’s): Any organization that will handle PHI while providing a service to a CE or BA. For example, an attorney providing services to a health plan or a CPA firm providing accounting services to a health care provider would both need to be HIPAA compliant.
How often is HIPAA training required to stay compliant?
Anyone that is employed with a CE and BA (mentioned above) is required to undergo HIPAA training when starting a new role with that organization to make sure they are aware of how to properly handle confidential patient information, when it’s okay to disclose and release this information, and what the consequences of not following the rules are. Because of this, it’s also recommended that organizations provide HIPAA training to their employees on an annual or semi-annual basis.
What topics should I Include in My HIPAA Staff Training Program?
Make sure your HIPAA training program covers foundational topics like:
- PHI (Protected Health Information) – what it is, how HIPAA rules mandate it should be handled and when it can be shared or disclosed.
- Social media – how to avoid accidental violations of HIPPA rules on social platforms.
- Patient rights
- Confidentiality and how to keep high standards.
- Security awareness
- Cybersecurity
How do I measure the effectiveness of my HIPAA staff training program?
Much like other forms of compliance training, HIPAA training effectiveness can be measured by using knowledge assessments a few weeks or months post training to see the level of knowledge retention your training program is having. Pair this learner data with an analysis of on-the-job behaviors and observations to get an idea of how the knowledge is applied on a day-to-day basis. The most important part is to use this information to adjust your program to your learners’ needs as the learning is taking place.
Why use online learning tools to deliver my HIPAA Training courses?
When it comes to compliance training topics like HIPAA, you want to lower the barrier of entry for your people as much as possible and an online learning platform is the best way to do this. The right LMS paired with up-to-date training content lets your employees access their training from any device, wherever it’s most convenient for them. On the administrator side, it allows for real time tracking and easy content management which can save lots of time if managing multiple learning initiatives per year.
Why should I use BizLibrary for my HIPAA staff training?
