Spotted: HIPAA Job Aid

The hospital I’ve been visiting lately has a great HIPAA job aid for its nurses and doctors: All of the public computers (such as at nurses’ stations) have screensavers with animations and text reminding them how to stay HIPAA compliant.

What a neat way to meet your learners literally where they are, at the moment they need the information. (Clearly, if a patient like me can see these screens, this is a major potential point of failure for privacy regulations!) I’m sure they do regular compliance training, but this seems like a useful year-round reminder, even if it blends into the background over time.

(And the cynic in me gets the last word: Good way to CYA, too.)
