6 Benefits of Using HIPAA Training Videos in Healthcare Practices

The rules and regulations set forth by HIPAA extend across a wide variety of healthcare practices and organizations and it’s absolutely vital to an organization to remain in compliance. Practices that get caught making HIPAA compliance mistakes, or potentially receiving HIPAA violations could be fined upwards of $50K per violation or more.  So it’s no surprise that many healthcare practices are turning to producing HIPAA training videos in healthcare to bring their employees up to speed on important compliance related details that pertain to this organization.

Fortunately, the decision to use HIPAA training videos in healthcare has several major benefits. If you’re not already using training videos for the regular conduction of in-office or inter-organization training of your employees on appropriate HIPAA rules and regulations, this is your reminder that now is a great time to take that step! Just checkout these amazing benefits that come along with the decision to use HIPAA training videos in healthcare.

1. Stronger Connection with Younger Age Groups

According to recent studies, training a younger workforce of Millennials and Gen Zers can be particularly challenging if you intend to do so with traditional in-classroom methods and written training manuals. Today’s generation is more conducive to learning via video than any other format. In fact, the use of HIPAA training videos in healthcare practices today will almost certainly lead to a stronger connection with employees that are within slightly younger overall age groups than other training programs potentially could.

2. On-Demand Training 

By making your HIPAA training video content and sharing it in your own vault or library, your employees can easily train at their convenience. Video training is available on-demand, all the time. Certainly there are several major benefits that come with making the decision to provide on-demand training in addition to making the content so easily available. On-demand videos are  also great for increasing your employee engagement and interaction with the training programs and platforms that you create for your team.

By improving employee engagement in your HiPAA training programs, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll have fewer instances of potential HIPAA compliance violations among your team which can be incredibly costly and embarrassing for your healthcare practice.

3. Easy to Follow & Understand

The use of HIPAA training videos in healthcare practices represents an excellent opportunity to deliver targeted learning to your employees in a way that is easy for them to follow and fully understand. Video can be produced with a very inclusive, overall message that is easily translated by your healthcare workers. Instead of training workers with a written manual or textbook, where there is risk for words to be misread or for entire paragraphs to be lost in translation, the use of training videos ensures understanding. Even employees with very different learning styles can manage to fully understand and follow along with carefully produced HIPAA training videos.

4. Greater Learner Retention

Videos are more likely to result in learner retention, especially when compared to other training formats. HIPAA training videos in healthcare can be used to improve overall learner retention of complex compliance topics related to things like safe medical records keeping, proper adherence to patients’ rights, PHI disclosures and a variety of other very important concepts in regards to HIPAA compliance and enforcement procedures.

When video was compared to other forms of training it was proven that learners retain upwards of 90% of what they see in a training video. These same learners frequently forget the concepts that they train on in person!

5. Re-Watch and Re-Train Anytime

One of the greatest benefits of providing HIPAA training videos in healthcare is the fact that a video training series can be re-watched so that any employee has the ability to re-train on important HIPAA concepts anytime, anywhere. By making HIPAA training videos accessible on-demand via the internet, your employees can train, learn, and re-train on important concepts as needed. When new employees come on board, they too can train on the important HIPAA related concepts that are integral to your practice.  Nobody is left out or left struggling to get the training that they need,

6. Save Time & Money

Since a single training video series can be produced and then delivered to your team over and over again, you’re going to save yourself a lot of money and time. Training programs will no longer require extensive planning and preparation to ensure all employees can make the single or multi-day training event. Instead, you’re going to coordinate with a production company, like Beverly Boy Productions, and your HIPAA instructor or on-camera talent to produce the training content that is right for your practice and, once that’s complete, you’ll be able to sit back and relax while your employees train virtually on auto-pilot.
