Default HIPAA - Electives

* HIPAA training means that you are trained to use the confidential information of the hospitals especially their patients in a careful and professional manner, so that the information may not be misused nor even leaked out to someone.
To overcome it, you will have to contact the elective coordinator of that institute. He or she will send you the web address of their site where you can have this training and then get the certificate printed out after passing a short test.
* To have a look at the John Hopkins HIPAA website Johns Hopkins Medicine: HIPAA & Patient Privacy.
* To do HIPAA compliance training(General Privacy Issues) of John Hopkins https://secure.lwservers.net/
* To do HIPAA training of UC Davis Privacy and Security Module .

That's pretty close, but what HIPAA actually means is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act which ensures that privacy is maintained in regards to patients' medical records. It also created a set of standards to which all electronic medical records must adhere.
