Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

HIPAA  is a 1996 law that required the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to adopt national standards for electronic health care transactions and code sets, unique health identifiers, and security. Congress incorporated into HIPAA provisions that mandated the adoption of Federal privacy protections for individually identifiable health information.

If your participation as an investigator in a research project requires you to complete HIPAA training you will be notified by your Supervising Faculty or PI. This training is only required of investigators if instructed.
