Assigning HIPAA training | Accountable Docs

Assigning HIPAA training

Roll out HIPAA training to your team and track completion.

HIPAA training is required at hire and annually thereafter. Accountable handles the assigning, the reminders, and the certificate storage so you don't have to chase anyone.

What's included

The training library covers the modules most healthcare orgs need. Each module includes video content and ends with a quiz that's logged for your records.

  • HIPAA — Core Privacy and Security Rule training, required for everyone with PHI access. Automatically assigned to new team members.
  • Security Awareness — Phishing, password hygiene, social engineering. Also auto-assigned to new team members.
  • Bloodborne Pathogens — Required for clinical roles in many states.
  • Fraud, Waste, and Abuse — Required for organizations billing federal payers.
  • Sexual Harassment Prevention — State-specific where required (CA, NY, IL, etc.).
  • Company Training — Upload your own custom training modules for organization-specific content.

Assigning training

  1. Open Training

    From the People & Training section in the left sidebar, click Training. You'll see every module and which employees are currently assigned.

  2. Pick a module and assign

    Choose individual employees, or assign by role or location.

  3. New hires are covered automatically

    HIPAA and Security Awareness training are auto-assigned when new team members join. You can configure required trainings for specific roles using the training requirements settings.

Let Copilot handle it

Ask Compliance Copilot to "assign all missing required trainings across the team" and it will find anyone who's missing required modules and assign them.

Tracking completion

The Training dashboard shows completion status by module and by team member. Training completion is the largest component of your compliance score (30% of your overall score through the Team Member Progress dimension).

Certificates

Every completed training generates a certificate. Certificates include the employee name, organization, module, and completion date. They're available from each employee's profile and are included in your compliance reports.

What your employees see — and what auditors want to see during a review.

Certificates can be shared via a public verification link — useful when payers or partners ask for proof that staff are HIPAA-trained. Accountable also supports sharing certificates to LinkedIn.

Quiz requirements

Modules require a passing score on the quiz. If an employee doesn't pass, the module stays open for retake.
