Course Summary

This Free 8 hour Ethics for CCMs course provides ethics and boundary information for Certified Case Managers. The Certified Case Manager Code of Professional Conduct is referenced throughout the course. In addition to discussions on responding to common ethical and boundary dilemmas, the first section of the course looks at informed consent and confidentiality. The second section of the course provides an overview of issues related to mandated reporting and supports health professionals in fulfilling this important role. The third section of the course deals with HIPAA compliance. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance requires all health professionals to adapt to evolving principles of patient privacy and protection of healthcare information. All members of the health team are required to demonstrate accountability to follow health organizational rules designed to protect patient information. HIPAA compliance can be achieved through a common-sense approach to patient privacy rules, such as use of technological tools. HIPAA sections are discussed with an emphasis on key intentions of the Act.
