This course is for:
Employees who are exposed to OSHA dental and medical front office hazards must receive adequate training.

This regulation applies to medical and dental offices in which there are two or more employees.
Case Study: The largest pharmacy chain in the United States, CVS Caremark, violated federal law when it failed to comply with the HIPAA standards for the disposal of PHI. Investigators found that pharmacies within the chain were disposing of pill bottles, prescription instruction sheets, and other materials that contained PHI directly in open dumpsters accessible to the public.
CVS Caremark was found liable for failing to have procedures in place for the proper disposal of PHI and for failing to train their workforce about the proper disposal of PHI. CVS Caremark was ordered to pay $2.25 million, develop policies and procedures for the proper disposal of PHI, train its workforce about the proper handling and disposal of PHI, and engage in internal and external monitoring.
Key Takeaways: Materials that require disposal methods that meet HIPAA compliance may vary widely in type and format. Covered entities must determine an effective method of disposal for all materials that contain PHI, develop an effective plan to ensure that PHI is disposed of properly, and train their workforce.
