Research organizations are increasingly faced with challenges surrounding the management and security of the information they collect and use during the course of conducting research. N2 has developed this introductory course on privacy and security for personal information (PI) and personal health information (PHI) in the research environment. The course is designed to equip learners with an understanding of the privacy legislation around how personal information may be collected, used, shared, accessed and disposed; the fundamentals of records and information management; and leading practices for handling a privacy breach. This course targets individuals who administer, review, or conduct health research that involves collecting health data, such as during clinical trials.
