Govern Healthcare Data: Protect Patient Privacy

Healthcare data breaches cost organizations an average of $10.93 million per incident—the highest of any industry. Protecting patient privacy isn't just about compliance; it's about maintaining trust and delivering quality care. This Short Course was created to help data analysis professionals accomplish secure and compliant healthcare data governance. By completing this course, you'll be able to confidently implement role-based access controls, systematically evaluate data requests using governance frameworks, and clearly communicate PHI compliance requirements—skills you can apply immediately to protect your organization and patients. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Apply role-based access controls when sharing workbooks - Evaluate data use request forms for completeness using a governance checklist - Explain compliance requirements for handling Protected Health Information (PHI) This course is unique because it combines technical security implementation with regulatory compliance knowledge, giving you both the "how" and the "why" of healthcare data protection. To be successful in this project, you should have basic familiarity with digital file sharing and an understanding of healthcare data concepts.
