HIPAA: the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996

All computer users at UCSF must take both the Basic (PPT) and Advanced (PPT) HIPAA training. The training modules are available as PowerPoint files. If you don't have a copy of PowerPoint you can download the free PowerPoint viewer. If you're not sure which training to take, please start at the UCSF HIPAA Training web site.

In addition, we have collected a handy set of resources.

• HIPAA Security of Electronic Information Training Certification - required of all DOM employees
• HIPAA Documentation & Forms
