Explanation
The correct answer is B: False. It IS important for staff to read and understand their agency's Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP). The NPP describes how the agency uses and discloses Protected Health Information (PHI), patients' rights regarding their information, and the agency's legal obligations. Understanding the NPP helps staff comply with HIPAA requirements, properly handle patient information, and answer client questions about their privacy rights. Ignorance of the NPP is not an acceptable defense for privacy violations.
