Hi, Michael,

I'm not an expert by any means either. The University of MN page is at
https://www.healthprivacy.umn.edu/

You may find helpful resources there.

FWIW,
Jenny Blaine

What types of things are institutions doing for HIPAA compliance for
covered functions at small-medium sized non-medical / research institutions?



We have two covered functions presently and are looking to add a third.
HIPAA compliance makes me personally very nervous as I don’t understand it
very well.  We have a designated HIPAA Privacy Officer who is equally as
nervous about it.
