SALT LAKE CITY, UT May 23, 2002 - PC Training West LLC, a leading
provider of industry certified training in Utah, today endorsed the HIPAA
Academy program and plans to deliver the acclaimed HIPAA Academy Professional
and Administrator awareness training.
"The HIPAA Academy recognizes the impact of the HIPAA Administrative
Simplification component of the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act. Do to the severity of HIPAA, the HIPAA Academy has
gone to great lengths and taken the right steps to provide the best possible
training and give our students the strength and knowledge to create a plan
and take action" said Jerome Schuster Regional Manager of the HIPAA Academy.
"Knowing how and where to get started is just as important as learning about
HIPAA and how it affects you."
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.
The demand for individual privacy and security has become on of the key
concerns in the Information Technology industry. Sue Levanger,
Corporate Education Specialist at PC Training West, LLC says “our new
association with the HIPAA Academy adds the additional element of getting the
proper education and training to the Health Care providers in Utah”.
With the vast array of places that patient records are processed and the many
times over that these records are handled, becoming informed and educated in
HIPAA compliance is critical for public reassurance.
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.
