About The HIPAA Journal
Championing Patient Privacy and Data Security
The HIPAA Journal is the leading independent source of news and guidance on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and now provides The HIPAA Journal training courses.
For over a decade, it has published more than 7,000 articles covering regulations, enforcement, data breaches, and compliance best practices, attracting over 2.5 million readers a year.
In addition to breaking news and regulatory updates, The HIPAA Journal provides independent expert advice, reference materials, and authoritative training to help organizations meet HIPAA requirements.
The HIPAA Journal champions HIPAA compliance by promoting a culture that values patient privacy and data security.
Why Your HIPAA Training Choice Matters
Watching HIPAA violations and breaches climb year after year, and seeing far too many incidents arising from basic, avoidable staff mistakes, raises an obvious question: how good is the HIPAA training people are actually receiving?
When our experts at The HIPAA Journal audited several of the most widely available online HIPAA courses, we found the same serious issues in all of them: inaccurate content, outdated regulatory advice and incomplete coverage of HIPAA rules.*
In response, and drawing on more than ten years of detailed reporting on HIPAA violations and breaches, we used that insight to design a HIPAA Training course that is accurate, comprehensive, and focused on reducing breach risk through practical real-world examples that reflect the situations your employees face.
Protecting Your Organization
Every incident we report represents real people whose privacy was exposed and an organization facing investigation and reputational harm. Our training targets the staff mistakes that drive most incidents, lowering your organization's risk of breaches, investigations, and fines.
Training for the Real World
This is not a HIPAA check-the-box course that employees click through and forget. Each lesson uses realistic examples your staff will recognize, with clear choices and consequences, so your staff change what they actually do in their day-to-day work.
Accuracy Guaranteed
Our editorial team monitors HIPAA rules, enforcement trends, and HHS guidance, updating our HIPAA training whenever something meaningful changes. You can therefore be fully confident that staff are trained on accurate information.
From Newsroom to Classroom
After a decade of reporting on HIPAA investigations, settlements, and corrective action plans, we know which violations appear again and again. We turn thousands of incidents analyzed over that time into practical training. Our course is not textbook theory, so your employees learn what to do when the rules meet reality.
Beyond the Rulebook
HIPAA rules do not spell out every risk your workforce faces, especially with new technology. Our lessons cover emerging issues such as generative AI tools, messaging platforms, and social media, and turn those gray areas into clear and practical guidance so staff know what is acceptable and what is not before they act.

What Experts Are Saying
The HIPAA Training course is excellent. I really enjoyed listening through the modules. It was easy to follow and understand. You really touched on all the topics that are important for someone starting out on their HIPAA journey and then some. I have no critiques, just applause.
Amy Schultz
Privacy Manager, Concentra
The best HIPAA training I’ve seen. Clear, complete, and the practical examples were clearly up to date. It covers what frontline staff actually need. Finally, a course that doesn’t confuse employee roles with the responsibilities of the Covered Entity. I went in skeptical and came out impressed.
