Self-Paced Workshop
0.1 PS CEUs
Workshop Description:
Healthcare interpreters play a vital role in facilitating communication while safeguarding sensitive patient information. This self-paced course provides ASL interpreters with a practical understanding of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the responsibilities that accompany working in medical settings.
Participants will explore the purpose and key provisions of HIPAA, including the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Protected Health Information (PHI), and common situations that may place confidentiality at risk. Through interpreter-specific examples and real-world scenarios, learners will examine how HIPAA applies before, during, and after interpreting assignments, while reinforcing ethical decision-making and professional standards.
By the end of the course, participants will have greater confidence in recognizing HIPAA-related issues, protecting patient privacy, maintaining secure handling of information, and understanding when disclosures are permitted or required. Whether you are new to medical interpreting, seeking a refresher, or completing HIPAA training for an employer or contracting agency, this course offers practical guidance that can be immediately applied in healthcare environments.
Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Completion. This course may satisfy HIPAA training requirements for some employers or interpreting agencies; participants are encouraged to verify acceptance with their employer or contracting agency.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
Explain the purpose of HIPAA and its relevance to sign language interpreters.
Identify Protected Health Information (PHI) and recognize how it is encountered during interpreting assignments.

Demonstrate best practices for protecting confidential information when using technology.
