JERICHO NY
USA -- MARCH 16 2005 -- With the April 20, 2005 HIPAA Security
Training deadline quickly approaching, some healthcare facilities
may find themselves scrambling to meet the mandated training
requirements. Health Care Compliance Strategies Inc. (HCCS), the
leading provider of multimedia compliance training courseware,
announced that it can provide high-quality immediate and on-going
education to quickly and effectively train a large staff on
complying with HIPAA regulations.
3 WAYS TO PROVIDE THE TRAINING:
-- The widely used HCCS computer-based multimedia HIPAA online
training courseware
-- 2 Quick-Start Classroom Training Toolkits covering Privacy
Awareness & Security
-- 2 videotapes covering HIPAA Privacy Awareness & Security
training
These
resources are designed to efficiently meet any learning style,
while providing a consistent educational message, full student
tracking and comprehensive management reporting. The courses can
be rolled out immediately to organizations of any size.
The HIPAA
Security Training regulations are very clear. According to the
Federal Register Final Rule - “Security training [is] required
for all staff, including management. Training would include
awareness training for all personnel…” In addition, the Federal
Register goes on to say - “training should be an on-going,
evolving process in response to environmental and operational
changes affecting the security of electronic protected health
information.”

ONLINE
MODULES:
The online
web-based HCCS courseware teaches the full set of HIPAA
regulations in a series of short, entertaining modules. A
combination of multimedia scenarios, audio, text and interactive
exercises engage the viewer, adding learner participation to the
experience.
This
flexible, self-paced learning approach featuring 24/7 access,
enables busy professionals to meet training requirements while
fulfilling day-to-day responsibilities. The content is
automatically updated. Full management reports are provided for
every employee.
CLASSROOM
TOOLKITS:
The HCCS
Quick-Start Classroom Training Toolkit is designed to be used by
an educator or administrator in a classroom setting. The 2
included toolkits bring HIPAA Privacy Awareness and HIPAA
Security Training to audiences where employees might not have
access to computers.
The Toolkits
contain a series of slides, short videos, a trainer's manual,
suggested teaching scripts for the instructor, participant
quizzes and student handouts -- making it easy for instructors to
reach intended audiences. Each organization can easily edit the
Toolkit, so that its own policies and procedures are integrated
into the training.
Learners who
are taught using the Toolkits, can be included in completion
reports that are provided by HCCS. The Toolkit content is
multimedia, and is consistent with the content provided in the
online modules.
VIDEOTAPES:
The 2
videotapes contain material on the HIPAA Privacy Rule and
Security Rule. These 25-minute videos offer another training
solution for learners who are without access or skills to
complete the computer-based training.
