Yes. The reason is that, as a Covered Entity (CE), a Risk Assessment and Gap Analysis are requirements in order for you to establish industry standard practices. While these don't have to be lengthy and formal, you really do have to do them if you're trying for HIPAA compliance as a CE. Once you have your Gap Analaysis (and it can even be a legal pad with a list of places where you don't comply), you need a written set of rules that will correct the gaps. This, either formally or de facto, becomes your Privacy Policies. If you need a set of Privacy Policies, I believe the American Hospital Association (AHA) has one.

How are employees in medical offices trained regarding privacy?

Specifically in hospitals, A health care provider can only look at the medical records of the patients the are caring for at the time they work. That means they cannot look up any patients that are not currently under there care, they cannot look up friends, family members or even themselves! Any competent hospital constantly audits or monitors record look ups, how long you looked at the record for, and who it was you looked up. The punishment in almost all cases is instant dismissal of the employee who looked at the file and the person who's privacy was violated will be notified. It falls under confidentiality in most policies
