Privacy Act and HIPAA Privacy Training

HIPAA and Privacy Act Training

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Privacy Act training is required of all Defense Health Agency (DHA) civilian, military, and contractor personnel.

The DHA Privacy and Civil Liberties Office (Privacy Office) is responsible for the development and availability of a merged course that offers specialized training unique to the Military Health System (MHS). These efforts are enhanced by promoting a culture of compliance through awareness, education, and outreach activities, including orientation sessions, annual seminars, and in-person training events.

The mandatory HIPAA and Privacy Act training course must be completed within 30 days of on-boarding and annually, thereafter. The course is accessible via Joint Knowledge Online (JKO)

JKO is a learning platform recently designated as the Enterprise Learning Management System (LMS), where other LMSs in use across the MHS were retired and transitioned to. JKO offers various training courses, including the mandatory HIPAA and Privacy Act training. Please refer to the Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) Instructions on accessing JKO. 

New Workforce Members must self-register. Please note that a Common Access Card (CAC) is not required. Requests for assistance should be directed to the DHA Global Service Center:

Military Nursing School Attracts Combat Medics, Other Enlistees

Dr. Diane Seibert enjoys working with a diverse group of students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Many of them come to the Daniel K. Inouye Graduate School of Nursing, where she serves as chair of the Family Nurse Practitioner Program, with a prior military background, mostly as medics. Others held different jobs in the military, ranging from ultrasound or pharmacy technicians to aircraft repair mechanics. This creates “a very dynamic classroom environment,” said Seibert, adding that she gets to see her students grow into military leaders. “This place is an amazing place to work.” Her passion for her job is evident in the video she did for the Uniformed Services University, which is located in Bethesda, Maryland.
