The HIPAA Security Rule online compliance workbook is a comprehensive, easy-to-use online resource to help psychologists comply with the HIPAA Security Rule. The workbook provides direct access to the resources needed for Security Rule compliance including:

1. Step-by-step risk analysis for all aspects of your practice. Practitioners respond to a series of questions to assess their practice's potential security risks and vulnerabilities related to electronic patient health information.
2. Compliance options for each Security Rule requirement. Practitioners identify security measures they will take to comply with the Security Rule. Each compliance option has corresponding policies and procedures that practitioners can either use as is, or edit and customize to better fit their practice.
3. Documentation, including policies and procedures, that practitioners can customize to fit their practice. When the documents are complete, practitioners can print a final policies and procedures document for their own reference, for distribution to their workforce and/or to show regulators in the event of an audit.
4. Links to compliance resources, including technical resources, that provide guidance for securing computers and other devices.

The workbook also includes an optional online exam that if successfully completed provides four hours of continuing education (CE) credits from the APA Practice Organization, an APA-approved CE sponsor.
APA members who pay the Practice Assessment can purchase the workbook for the discount price of $99. The price for other APA members is $139. Practitioners who do not belong to APA are charged the full retail price of $159.
