HIPAA-HITECH Privacy and Security Reminders for the Workforce

The HIPAA-HITECH-Omnibus Security rule implementation specification 164.308(a)(5)(ii)(A) Security Reminders states that reminders should be distributed to an organization’s team members on a periodic basis.

The organization’s vulnerabilities to security incidents are not static; they will change with technology and with the organization’s infrastructure and business processes. Therefore, learning and knowing about security issues are continuous processes. Your workforce members should receive periodic reminders of security requirements.
