COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Certificate of Encryption Awareness Proficiency (CEAP) course offers training on basic security and encryption strategies for all healthcare environments. Federal regulations specifically exempt encrypted Protected Health Information (PHI) from breach reporting requirements. A lost laptop containing unencrypted PHI is a major breach and a financial and reputational disaster. The same laptop with encrypted data is not a reportable breach. But HIPAA calls for encryption of all ePHI, whether it is stored or transmitted. This session will focus on pragmatic strategies for providers to encrypt PHI.
