THE CHALLENGE OF HIPAA EDUCATION: |
|
| |

|
|
|
"Healthcare administrators must meet the challenge

hccs
President. "hccs' training tools, which combine the latest in computer
based training together with a classroom training option, provide effective and
comprehensive curriculum for training and reinforcement of these required
procedures." |
| |
|
|
|
|
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
without taking time from day-to-day responsibilities. The content is
automatically updated. Full management reports are provided for every
employee. |

|
CLASSROOM TOOLKITS: |

The

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, 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 edit the Toolkit, so that its policies
and procedures are integrated into the training. |
