Healthcare Data Security, Privacy, and Compliance
In the final course of the Healthcare IT Support program, we will focus on the types of healthcare data that you need to be aware, complexities of security and privacy within healthcare, and issues related to compliance and reporting. As a health IT support specialist, you’ll be exposed to different types of data sources and data elements that are utilized in healthcare. It’s important for you to understand the basic language of healthcare data and for you to recognize the sensitive nature of protected health information (PHI). Maintaining data privacy and security is everyone’s responsibility, including IT support staff! We’ll go into detail about HIPAA and the risks associated with security breaches, ransomware and phishing. We’ll go into detail about some of the key laws and regulations specific to healthcare and the importance of compliance with them. You'll leave this course well versed on the Stark Law, the Joint Commission and the purpose of quality measures. We wrap up the Healthcare IT Support certificate with tips on job interviews, skills that can make you standout, and words of advice on the endless possibilities in this dynamic and growing field. Make sure you talk to others who’ve been there before about the process of being hired at a large health system. Be rest assured that you’ll receive training when you start a new role, and you might even be partnered with someone else for the first few weeks as you get onboarded. Remember, this is not the end--rather, it’s just the beginning of the next step in your journey!

Reviewed Mar 22, 2021Intense course. Opened my eyes to areas that I need to look at closer in my environment. Data protection is key to having a reputable organization. Also highlighted were the subtle characteristics anyone working in IT should have... being a great listener, being confident, being analytical, sticking to the protocols and being a quick thinker.

Reviewed Jan 1, 2024Very detailed course on why we need to protect sensitive data whether the data is about medical company/facility or patient data. The examples of what violates certain laws when misusing medical data or how a medical company/facility needs to operate is very helpful in better understanding how to ensure we trust the medical professionals.

Reviewed Mar 31, 2023Very informative and helpful. It's also easy to study since they have a video transcript which I read instead of watching their video tutorials (just my preference). As a former health insurance CSA (years ago), it served as a refresher for me.
