JACKSON, MS, Aug 12 2002 - New Horizons Computer Learning Center of Jackson, MS, 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.
“Executives today have to align HIPAA legislation requirements for transactions, security and privacy policies with business objectives,” said Allen Nguyen, President of the HIPAA Academy. “Individuals within enterprises can now acquire baseline skills to be effective members of teams responsible for delivering HIPAA compliant solutions.”
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.
“HIPAA’s intent is to persuade healthcare-related organizations to move patient information management and processing from manual to electronic systems in order to enhance security, lower costs, and reduce error rates,” said Dr. William Cooley, Chairman of New Horizons Computer Learning Center of Jackson, MS. “Our exclusive partnership with the HIPAA Academy creates a tremendous opportunity to team with the leader in HIPAA training and certification to provide first-rate training to an organization’s HIPAA compliance team members with varying levels of HIPAA experience. Not only will we provide critical HIPAA knowledge needed to become compliant, we will offer proven solutions and options for its application.”
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.
