HIPAA Training Practice Test 2025 – The Comprehensive All-in-One Guide for Healthcare Students!

The Security Rule under HIPAA establishes a framework to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information (ePHI). Among its requirements, implementing physical safeguards focuses on the protection of facilities and equipment that house ePHI. Managing access controls is crucial in regulating who can view or alter ePHI, thereby protecting patient information from unauthorized access. Additionally, implementing technical safeguards involves various electronic measures, such as encryption and firewalls, designed to secure ePHI from cyber threats.

Conducting employee performance reviews, while important for overall workplace effectiveness and compliance, is not mandated by the Security Rule. This aspect concerns employee performance management rather than the specific management of ePHI or its safeguarding measures. Thus, the inclusion of employee performance reviews in the context of the Security Rule does not align with the essential requirements aimed at protecting electronic health information.
