NEW HORIZONS OF FORT LAUDERDALE, has invested in the safety of its community by partnering with The HIPAA Academy to provide HIPAA Awareness Training.

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL July 9, 2002 - New Horizons of Fort Lauderdale, a leading provider of industry certified training in Fort Lauderdale, today endorsed the HIPAA Academy program and plans to deliver the acclaimed HIPAA Academy Professional and Administrator awareness training.

"The HIPAA Academy is a great way to certify employees and help organizations get ready for a project that is twice the size of Y2K," said Jerome Schuster Regional Account Manager for the HIPAA Academy.  "We are a vendor neutral company that focuses on the education side of HIPAA and getting companies ready to take action."

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.

“Business methods and practices in the Healthcare Industry are facing radical changes.  New Horizons is please to be in a position where we can best help everyone impacted by HIPAA make a smooth transition” said Jeff Marsman, General Manager, New Horizons Fort Lauderdale.

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.
