HIPAA Training

National health information privacy standards have been issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The HIPAA Privacy Rule is the first comprehensive Federal protection for the privacy of personal health information. Research organizations and researchers may or may not be covered by the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Covered entities may use and disclose protected health information (PHI) for research with authorization or without individual authorization under limited circumstances. 

UMB policy requires that all individuals employed at UMB must take HIPAA 125 (formally HIPAA 101 and HIPAA 120), regardless of whether they are engaging in research.  Additionally, all individuals engaging in research at UMB are also required to complete HIPAA 201.
