Confidentiality and the Code (including HIPAA and PII Focus)
Confidentiality and the Code utilizes an organization’s pertinent policies — from non-disclosure agreements, to non-compete clauses, to HIPAA and personally identifiable information (PII) policies, to general confidentiality agreements — to emphasize the importance of keeping critical information safe, as well as educating employees about the information to protect.
The course highlights how certain electronic communications, including e-mails, may conflict with an organization’s confidentiality and privacy rules. It lays out the types of information that can and can't be discussed with third parties, such as customers, vendors, and government officials.
