3. TARGET Center Data Academy

4. Email Encryption
Here is a link to an article called The Best Free Ways to Send Encrypted Email and Secure Messages. It might be helpful for third parties/community providers/non-profits that are not sure about secure email or have no funds for a more commercial solution. We cannot recommend one solution over another, etc (and I don't know enough about each to evaluate). Also, the article is from 2013, so there's a chance that the services are no longer as described in the article.
5. Privacy Annual Refresher
2015 Privacy Annual/Refresher Training is available via YouTube. It covers the verification of identity/authority and the minimum necessary standard. Since it's in the public domain, you are welcome to share the link with community partners.
2016 Privacy Annual/Refresher Training is available via YouTube. It covers the topic of authorization/release of information. Since it's in the public domain, you are welcome to share the link with community partners.
6. HIPPA Rights of Access
Training to Educate Providers about the HIPAA Right of Access. OCR has launched a 37-minute video training module for health care providers on patients' right of access under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The video module provides an in-depth review of the components of the HIPAA right of access and ways in which it enables individuals to be more involved in their own care. The module provides helpful suggestions about how health care providers can integrate aspects of the HIPAA access right into medical practice. Upon completion of this activity, participants will receive free Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit for physicians and Continuing Education (CE) credit for healthcare professionals. The program requires registration but is free of charge.
