Chiropractors Earn 3 CC Hours.
The Brightsquid Privacy Compliance course has been approved for continuing competence credit hours by the College of Chiropractors of Alberta. Chiropractors in Alberta who complete the course will earn three credit hours toward their continuing competence requirements.
Privacy compliance training is an important part of continuing competence for Chiropractors. Understanding privacy rules helps inform all decisions within a healthcare clinic. Both administrative operations and patient treatment are impacted by privacy compliance process. Implementing compliance measures poorly can negatively impact clinic efficiency and effectiveness.
What Chiropractors Learn:
Brightsquid’s course, which has been reviewed and approved by the College of Chiropractors of Alberta, covers important details about the Health Information Act of Alberta (HIA). The curriculum includes details about defined roles and responsibilities, as well as required documentation and agreements. Chiropractors who complete the course will know their responsibilities within their clinic and be better prepared to support privacy compliance across operations.
Privacy compliance is not common sense, and the HIA (which applies to Chiropractors) can be improperly interpreted without training and expertise. To support chiropractors in establishing and maintaining privacy compliance and breach prevention, the course covers these topics:
- Important privacy principles that apply to clinic functions, patient data management, and decision-making.
- The rules and definitions governing health data in the Health Information Act (HIA), and how they apply to individual roles in clinic settings.
- The definition of a privacy breach and how to recognize and prevent common privacy breaches in healthcare.
- Key examples of safeguards required to properly protect patient information.
- Patient data lifecycle management under the HIA.
- How to assess communications for compliance risk and establish safe data-sharing practices with patients and other providers.
- Cyber threats such as ransomware and phishing and how to prevent them.
- Real-world scenarios and solutions for common compliance challenges faced by healthcare providers.
