The text of the Training Standard requires Covered Entities to provide HIPAA refresher training when a material change to policies and procedures affects the functions of the Covered Entity´s workforce. This implies HIPAA refresher training is necessary when any change to policies and procedures occurs because it affects the functions of the Covered Entity´s workforce. However, it is only necessary to provide refresher training to members of the workforce whose functions are affected by the material change. If, for example, there is a change to a policy specifying how funeral directors are notified of a patient´s death, only members of the workforce whose roles include notifying funeral directors of a patient´s death would have to receive refresher training.
