PASADENA, CA May 31, 2002 - Integrated Digital Technologies Corp., a leading provider of industry certified training, today endorsed the HIPAA Academy program and plans to deliver the acclaimed HIPAA Academy Professional and Administrator awareness training.
"The HIPAA Academy is here to educate people on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act," said Allen Nguyen, President of the HIPAA Academy. "We help companies get the facts and learn how to develop a successful business plan to develop a team and become HIPAA compliant. You must know what is involved in the Administrative Simplification title before you can truly get started."
The HIPAA Academy structure is unique in that it delivers baseline HIPAA knowledge and competence in the core skills that are broadly required for Healthcare Executives, Senior Clinicians, Chief Information Officers, Lawyers, Compliance Officers, Privacy and Security Officials, Quality Assurance and Risk Managers, Insurance Executives, Physicians and Office Managers, Pharmaceutical Company Executives, and Clinical Trial Organization Professionals.
Business professionals in the health care and insurance industries as well as IT professionals would find the HIPAA Academy programs as the critical first step for acquiring HIPAA knowledge and skills to participate as valuable members of HIPAA compliance teams within organizations.
“We are excited to be able to bring this crucial knowledge to our customers,” said Juan Rodriguez, President and CEO of Integrated Digital Technologies Corporation. “As our customers focus on the specifics of HIPAA, our partnership with the HIPAA Academy will play a key role in helping our customers design an effective plan, make the necessary changes, and efficiently integrate the requirements with technology.”
The HIPAA Professional exam validates knowledge and skills in the core areas of HIPAA Administrative Simplification legislation, Transactions and Code Sets Requirements, Privacy Requirements and Security Requirements. The HIPAA Administrator exam validates knowledge and skills of end users that are responsible for delivery and support of health care services and administration.
Proctored exams for Certified HIPAA Professional and Certified HIPAA Administrator will be available across hundreds of testing centers in the United States in July 2002.
