GAITHERSBURG, MD May 29, 2002 - Attronica, an ISO 9002 organization and a leading provider of industry certified training and solution provider, today endorsed the HIPAA Academy program and plans to deliver the acclaimed HIPAA Academy
Professional and Administrator awareness training.
"The HIPAA Academy is about more then just HIPAA Awareness training. For large corporations it is a chance for their HIPAA Team to review what they have learned through their own research and the chance to help keep them in front of the HIPAA deadlines" said Jerome Schuster Regional Manager of the HIPAA Academy. "For smaller companies to local clinics, the HIPAA Academy offers a piece of mind. We can teach them how to become HIPAA compliant and avoid the penalties and fines. We can even show them how they can save money and get a return on their investment."
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.
“Given the high concentration of healthcare related businesses in our region, we are pleased to offer a training solution to respond to HIPAA compliance issue,” said Azin Tajdar, Attronica’s Vice President of Training Services. “Attronica’s pursuit to provide world class IT training is highly consistent with our commitment to addressing critical business and technology issues, so building a strategic partnership with HIPAA Academy was a natural fit.”
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.
