The CoE-PHI team is happy to share our third eLearning module with you! 


This module, Privacy Basics for Frontline Staff, is designed to help professionals who provide or administer substance use disorder (SUD) services understand how protected health information (PHI) can be shared within one’s own organization, and when communicating with clients and individuals outside their organizations.

This module:

  • provides you with 24/7 access to the information and training you need to understand the federal privacy laws protecting SUD treatment records

  • can be used by organizations to support their new-employee orientation process and annual staff competency training

  • offers an option to receive a course certificate upon successful completion of knowledge checks

  • can be completed in 15-25 minutes making it easy to fit into a typical workday
