OCR Helps Consumers Understand HIPAA: OCR has posted a
series of factsheets, in different languages, to help consumers understand their rights under HIPAA. These are complimented by a series of
YouTube videos for consumers (one of which is
targeted at providers and describes how to establish basic safeguards). It's pretty perfunctory, but is a good starting point for "civilians" to get a rudimentary understanding of how HIPAA affects them and what it can do for them.
OCR has also published a series of MedScape CME modules for physicians on HIPAA,
