HIPAA Security Training HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, was enacted in 1996 to establish national standards for the protection of sensitive patient health information. HIPAA security training is designed to educate healthcare employees on the regulations outlined in the act, including the Security Rule, which sets forth specific requirements for safeguarding electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI).
