Temporary Employees

[Hromatka, Valerie]

Had a question come up today regarding temporary employees.  If we have a temp for a couple of weeks, is that person considered a member of our workforce and are we required to train that person on HIPAA Privacy?  Thanks for your input!   Valerie Hromatka System Administrator Privacy Officer   Western Washington Medical Group 3207 Wetmore Ave Everett, WA 98201 wwmedgroup.com 425-259-4041 425-252-6642   --- The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
