Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces federal laws that protect the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI). While business associate contracts, written policies and procedures, and a designated privacy official are all requirements under HIPAA for protecting PHI, training the workforce specifically in state law is not a direct requirement of the OCR. The focus is more on federal regulations and the HIPAA rules rather than state-specific laws.
