Q: I have a question: What are the rules or guidelines for C.E. departments to comply with HIPAA? Some of our workforce training programs are funded by federal grants that require participants to pass a physical assessment and a five-panel drug test. I’ve found other colleges have their C.E. departments comply with FERPA, but are there any other HIPAA standards we need to be aware of? I haven’t found a definitive answer so far…not even on the HIPAA federal website.
I’d prefer to err on the side of caution for this one. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
